Description: Wyresdale Tunnel (Lune-Wyre Link) SE of Lancaster, 700 m. from the Rowton Portal. Intraformational slump in interbedded striped siltstones and sandstones. The penecontemporaneous slump occurs in a 2 m. unit of distorted strata that is contained within a northerly-dipping sequence of interbedded striped siltstones and thin sandstones. The slump is approximately 1 m. across (measured normal to axial plane) and is seen in the roof of the tunnel. The movement indicated by the slump is from north-west to south-east.
