Contorted layers of Devonian rocks at Down End The geology at Saunton is excellent and the rocks here provide many clues about the Saunton of the past. Here we see contorted layers of Devonian rocks at Down End. Reference:..(UID:10637) Supplied by: Braunton
Devonian sea shells This remarkable image shows Devonian sea shells in the rocks at Saunton. Reference:..(UID:10638) Supplied by: Braunton
Ripple marks These rocks prove that the sea once rippled over them. Reference:..(UID:10639) Supplied by: Braunton
Sandstone This sandstone at the base of Saunton cliffs was originally soft muds and sands, laid down horizontally on a sea-bed. They are now hard and splintery sandstones and slates, their layers contorted and often near-vertical, fissures within them exploited by the sea into deep gullies.

Saunton cliffs 2007 This image shows the north-end of Saunton Sands, where the sand meets the cliffs and we see the bed of a wave-cut platform. Reference:..(UID:10641) Supplied by: Braunton
Saunton cliffs showing modern built 'cave' 2007 Here we see a modern-built â??caveâ?? in Saunton cliffs. Itâ??s origin and purpose are debatable, some think it is a fishermanâ??s store. Reference:..(UID:10642) Supplied by: Braunton
Saunton cliffs showing undercutting by waves 2007 The horizontal layers of the cliffs are shown here, along with undercutting performed by the constant action of the waves. Reference:..(UID:10643) Supplied by: Braunton
Saunton cliffs showing wave-cut platforms 2007 This â??shore platformâ? of fairly uniform height, is cut across by numerous gullies running mainly either east-west or NW-SE or NE-SW. The E-W gullies can be seen to be more or less parallel to the steeply-sloping layers of sandstone and slate, though in places tight folding of these layers is apparent.
