Little Barton Strand westwards
Little Barton Strand is a rocky inlet just north of Pencannow Cliff and Crackington Haven, notth Cornwall.
The stripy rocks are interbedded grey shales and turbidite sandstones of the Crackinton Formation (upper Carboniferous), which are mostly inverted - turned upside down - by the Variscan earth movements at the end of the Carboniferous. The upper surface of slab in the middle foreground displays superb sole structures on what would have originally been its base, but has subsequently been inverted.
This locality is also where the truncated Cleave valley terminates abruptly. Its waterfall can be seen on the right plunging over a near vertical lip on to the rocky beach.
