Summary[edit]

Description
English: Sedimentary rocks at the Bendricks

“ During the Late Triassic it is probable that the Bendrick Rock area was a low lying marginal environment, where large ephemeral fluvial (river and stream) systems sporadically filled a larger, heavily evaporated, hypersaline lake.

The fluvial deposits are interpreted as the result of periodic flash flood events and show a range of sediments and depositional structures. The rivers that existed in this area would have periodically filled the lakes and during times of heavy rainfall burst their banks creating extensive shallow floodplains. These flood events would have deposited fine muds over a wide area and left many shallow pools of rapidly evaporating water.“ [The Geological Society]
