Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Cliff and Beach to the East of West Bay. The cliffs to the east of the harbour, between West Bay and Burton Bradstock, are composed of material laid down in the Toarcian Age toward the end of the Early Jurassic period. The soft, fine-grained sandstone contains regular narrow bands that are calcite-cemented and more resistant to weathering, giving it a characteristic banded appearance alternating between harder and softer materials. The cliff's distinctive reddish colour is a result of oxidisation of fine pyrite grains. |
