Things that make you go hmmm…
From a meme running elsewhere in the geoblogosphere – things that make you go hmmm…
I never have quite sussed this outcrop. What happens to the orange sandstone and the faults?

Oblique slip, it’s gone in or out of the outcrop face (?)
It isn’t oblique-slip – the slickenfibres are all dip slip. I’ve just been and revisited the site and what you can’t see from the photo is that the base of the sandstone is a thrust so the bottom part of the structure is under the beach to the left of the image.
