Monkstone Point folds 1

Monkstone Point folds 1
Coastal traverse and geology from Waterwynch to Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire

At Monkstone Point, grey, channel-fill sandstones of the Namurian age 'Millstone Grit Series' have been folded into a complex anticline with subsidiary folds, thrusts, and bedding plane slips which accommodate the 'space problem' in the core of the main anticline.

These sandstones are probably the equivalent of the prominent overturned sandstone ribs at Trevayne Point at the south end of Monkstone Bay.
