A section of a cliff mainly made out of pudding stones (Atlantic Pyrenees - France). Portion de falaise constitué de poudingue.
Under the Rhune summit (2968 feet above the sea level), a part of a cliff mainly made out of pudding stones (Atlantic Pyrenees - France). Pudding stones are a detrital sedimentary rock formed from solid particles of pre-existing rocks; these particles range in different sizes, have been carried in water by a stream more or less far away and then cemented. Sous la Rhune (905 m), partie de falaise constituée essentiellement de poudingue pugilaire (Pyrénées Atlantiques - France). Le poudingue est une roche sédimentaire détritique consolidée par un ciment constituée de galets de grosseur variable et plus ou moins arrondis suivant la force du courant qui les a transportés et la distance parcourue.
