Bardon Quarry, Leicestershire
Bardon Quarry, Leicestershire
A beautiful unconformity. The grey rock is Precambrian volcanics (600 million years old) that was covered, resurrected 300+ million years later, worn down and the valleys infilled with Triassic mud/siltstone, buried yet again, then resurrected in 'modern' times to what you see now - palaeovalleys.
