Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Red mudstone on shoreline stains the sea red With an onshore wind, the waves were breaking on the pebbles and breaking them up. The mudstone is composed of very small particles less than .05 mm diameter. "Understanding geology" by David Webster tells us: "[Mudstone] is produced when clay minerals are deposited more rapidly and collect in a 'jumbled' fashion. Provided there is no great pressure during burial the clay minerals do not become aligned so the rock is not fissile and breaks unevenly".
