Hedgecutter Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I've been too embarrassed to put mine up so far (not just because it shows my phone camera is crap), but fcuk it... Here's a photo of some Old Red Sandstone boulders which were deposited on top of a thick sequence of lavas ~400 million years ago, probably during a rare flash flood. The stratigraphic unit takes it's name from the nearby town just beyond the lighthouse so a rather well deserved greenie if anyone gets the location...

Hedgecutter Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Diabaig? Miles off. However, here's a picture I took of some pebble imbrication on the shore of Diabaig. I think it's cool anyway. Eta - Loser alert: Diabaig is at the very base of the Torridonian Sandstone, ~1000 million years old. Maybe it should be called the 'Really, Really Old Red Sandstone' there to avoid confusion with the Old Red Sandstone? To make it worse, the base of the Torridonian is actually shale / mud (as seen in the photo) - known as the Diabaig Formation believe it or not. The mud was deposited in lakes which filled valleys which existed at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Lossiemouth Closer, but still miles off. Seeing as you thought it was the Covesea lighthouse, here's a picture of the 'New Red Sandstone' at Covesea just for you. The curvey lines are the result sand dunes migrating across a desert ~250 million years ago. Tragic I have photos from both wrong guesses though.

invergowrie arab Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I have heard of lossiemouth sandstone but I'm afraid that the limit of my stratigraphic knowledge other than I know there is Dundee shit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
