The is an unusual detail view of the rocks at Millook Haven, north Cornwall.
The striped rocks are turbidites belonging to the Crackington Formation (upper Carboniferous). Way-up structures in the sandstone bands such as fining-up sequences, small-scale slump structures, ripple marks and grooves, etc, demonstrate that these northward dipping rocks (part of the famous chevron fold sequence) have been inverted and are upside-down.
