The rock strata on the shore here have been tilted by tectonic movements, so that the dark mudstones laid down on top of the paler ones appear alongside one another. The foreground strata are Triassic, and beyond the old outfall pipe the presence of ammonite fossils marks the transition upwards into the Jurassic.
