| Description: | The Kist, near Greenvale, west shore of South Ronaldsay. Orkney. Sea stack formed of Passage Beds between Rousay Flags and Lower Eday Sandstone, Old Red Sandstone. The Passage Beds form a thinly-bedded sequence of yellow and reddish marls, flags and sandstones. In Orkney the Passage Beds vary in both thickness and lithology; because of this and the relationship with the Rousay Flags and Lower Eday Sandstone it is thought that the environment of deposition was along the margin of a lake flat which was crossed by channels, flood plains or deltas of rivers. |
