| Description: | Oblique aerial view of Penton Linns, Liddel Water, 4 km. east of Canonbie, Dumfries & Galloway Region. Penton Anticline from the north. Yoredale facies of the Upper Liddesdale Group (Dinantian, Lower Carboniferous) in the well-known Penton Anticline, a sharp anticline in the Penton Limestone. The anticline plunges gently southwards and is markedly asymmetrical. The eastern limb (upstream, on left) dips about 20 degrees to the east-south-east whereas the western limb (downstream, on right) dips about 60 degrees towards the west. The beds exposed above the water are discrete limestones. |
