Anticlinal chevron fold in rock strata. The strata were originally horizontal and planar. They formed from the gradual deposition of material during the Silurian period (443-417 million years ago). Over time the strata became uplifted and distorted by pressures within the Earth. Erosion from the nearby sea then revealed the twisted layers. Photographed at Cwmtydu,Wales,UK | |
