Rock layers at Daymer Bay, North Cornwall, UK.


Layers of exposed rock, with alternate layers of grey slate and maroon-Killas is a wonderful Cornish miners' term used to describe the sediments, metamorphosed by the heat emanating from the granites. They are a very important sequence of rocks as they underlie two thirds of the county.
