The Liassic Rocks of Lyme Regis. |
Because of the gentle eastward dip of the rocks, as you move eastwards you move up the stratigraphic column with the rocks getting progressively younger. Further East and the sands of Bridport are reached. These sandstone cliffs that outcrop between West Bay and West Bexington are, like the rocks of Lyme Regis, made up of repeating hard and soft bands. This time composed of well-cemented hard sandstone, and much softer sandstone that shows a distinctive honeycomb-weathering pattern. |
