Faulting in Robin Hood's Bay

Faulting in Robin Hood's Bay
  • Location: Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire, UK
  • Date Taken (dd-mm-yy): 4-6-07

Clear faulting picked out nicely by seaweed! The faults occur on the Robin Hood's Bay dome, a structure caused by the Alpine Orogeny in the Tertiary. The faults are radial and point roughly to the centre of the dome. The rocks faulted are the Redcar Formation; mainly mudstones with the odd silty layers.
