Budleigh Salterton Pebble Beds - faulted

Small normal faults in the Triassic age Budleigh Salterton Pebble Beds and the overlying Otter Sandstone. The Pebble Beds were deposited in desert conditions by intermittent torrential floods, perhaps in a wadi type of environment. The Otter Sandstone is a fluvial sand deposited by an extensive river network flowing through low lying desert conditions. The prominent honeycomb weathering is due primarily to modern wind erosion.
Location: West Cliff, Budleigh Salterton, Devon.
A photo of the same location taken when I was a student 40 years ago (scary!) is here:

Notice how there is much more debris banked up against the cliff now, compared with then.
