| Description: | The ravine from the bridge. The beds of slate which are here exposed belong to the pre-Caradoc of the Ingleton series and are tilted at a very high angle so as to stand almost vertically. The slate here is of a better quality than that in other parts of this district. It is a fine texture, greenish grey in colour, but often tinted with brown or purple shades. A non fossiliferous granular variety intervening between the beds as nodules or bands is known locally by the name of Galliard. The planes of cleavage are almost identical with those of the bedding. |
