Summary

Coastal section from Lavernock to Penarth. Looking N. Coastal section from Lavernock to Penarth Head. On the left, Penarth Group black shales overlie Keuper Tea Green Marl and Red Marl with gentle southerly dip. These beds form the southern limb of a small anticline with its axis in the Red Marl seen in the centre. To the right the beds dip gently north into the syncline of Seven Sisters Bay where Lower Lias 'Ostrea beds' cap the cliff. The hill of Penarth in the far right is capped by Lower Lias 'Upper Limestones' downthrown by a fault exposed in the cliffs of Penarth Head. Details of the strata are shown in photographs A12609 and A12610. The foreground is a cobble and pebble storm beach composed predominantly of Lias Limestone. The height of the cliff varies from 8 to 30 metres.
