Chevron Folds - 2012
Photo taken in Loughshinny Harbour, North County Dublin. The photo shows a distinctive fold pair in the interbedded limestone turbidites and black shales of Loughshinny. These chevron folds are thought to be the furthest north expression of the Variscan Orogeny, and are expressed spectacularly on the cliff faces. Photo by Sarah Grimes.
