| Description: | Sea stack with synclinal structure, Moorburn shore, 1.6 km. west of St. Abb's Head, Berwickshire. Looking along the axis of a sharp synclinal fold in Silurian greywackes and shales forming a large sea stack. Some accommodation faults can be seen in the hinge zone where the beds have had to create space for themselves during the deformation episode. Folds such as these are common in the Lower Palaeozoic greywackes of the Southern Uplands terrane. They reflect deformation of this thick marine succession under considerable depth of cover within an imbricating thrust stack of submarine fan deposits. |
