| Description: | North of Aoineadh Dubh, about 3 km. north of Loch Tarbert, west coast of Jura, Argyllshire. Shingle of postglacial raised beach at base of cliff, and of late-glacial raised beach at top of cliff. Large area of shingle above upper cliff is part of late-glacial raised beach, reaching 34 m. above O.D. On left, below cliff and behind present-day beach, are deposits of postglacial raised beach, rarely exceeding 14 m. above O.D. Between the two is a pronounced escarpment, exposing Jura Quartzite (Islay Subgroup, Argyll Group, Dalradian Supergroup), which dips to the east (right) at 20-30 degrees. Mountains of Jura Quartzite in far distance, right. |
