Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Folds at Penally Point near Boscastle in Cornwall, England.
The early Carboniferous Culm basin sediments (Boscastle Formation) are a mix of marine muds, silts and subordinate sands (storm deposits). The mix of competencies between the rocks has resulted in disharmonic folding. So the folds don't 'match up'. This view shows a refolded fold (follow the gap along the strata and you will see the axial point), allowing geologists to see the folding history of the area.
