Budleigh Salterton Pebble Beds

02 Nov 2011 279
The Budleigh Salterton Pebble Beds (Triassic). These rocks were deposited in desert conditions by intermittent torrential floods, perhaps in a wadi type of environment. There is a crude depositional dip of about 20° to the east (right) visible just above the grass-covered debris. The main part of the exposure is a generally fining-up sequence with a single sand layer visible in the upper part, which could represent a single flash flood event. Location: West Cliff, Budleigh Salterton, Devon.
