- Description
-
The top of Gad Cliff offers one of the most spectacular views along the Dorset and East Devon coast World Heritage Site (the Jurassic Coast). Here the rocks have been folded into a huge ‘S’ shaped kink as the result of earth movements about 15 million years ago. In the foreground, Kimmeridge Clay together with Portland and Purbeck strata, lie in the southern side of the fold and are dipping steeply to the north. In the distance, the same rocks are level as they are located away from the fold. This huge structure, known as the Purbeck Monocline, runs east to west across Purbeck, dominating the landscape.

The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661" (August 05, 2009, 03:50PM )
Nice shot Richard. Can I make a couple of suggestions? Firstly, there are quite a few geologists out there who would like to see your coastal shots so why not add 'geology' to your tags? I think that if you search on geology at gigapan.org, you will get some idea of how much interest there will be. Secondly, if and when time permits, can you geocode your images? Being able to see gigapans in Google Earth is a much-overlooked feature which I think is rather unfortunate because gigapans look *so* much better in GE.
