Such sharp rocks around the shoreline and everywhere you went you had to either balance on these ridges or try not to step on a Fur Seal. I looked up this Geology of the Kaikoura Area ( 2006).
Beds of sedimentary rock dip steeply into the Bighorn Basin along the western margin of the Bighorn mountains near Cottonwood Canyon east of Lovell, Wyoming.
Real rock used for a wall covering to duplicate rock strata at a Leicester Restaurant. Man imitates nature!
The rocks of the Lewisian gneiss feature many bands as seen here on Traigh Lar on the Isle of Harris. On the horizon is the peak of Ceapabhal, almost an island in itself.
Geology is an open book in much of the American southwest. Here is a chapter along the Scenic Drive in Capitol Reef National Park.
The rocks at Sandy Mouth are from the Bude Formation and of Silesian (Upper Carboniferous) age, approximately 310 million years old. Rocks from the Westphalian Stage (Langsettian to Bolsovian Sustages) being from the middle of the Silesian.
The formation is mostly sandstones, but grey-brown mudstones and siltstones can be seen in beds at the top of the cliff and in thinner layers that dip down to beach level.
Hills to the east of Badwater Basin in Death Valley, California show uplifted strata in the rock formations in what once was the sea floor. Death Valley, now a National Park, is the lowest elevation in North America.
