Geologists on fold in Wales - Thomas Heising

More specifically: geology students swarming a fold in Pembrokeshire.

The geology in the Welsh seaport town Milford Haven pictured here is nearly identical to that of Cork – most of it being Old Red Sandstone. Though the rocks in South West Wales are older in some places. The subsequent deformation that created the fold here, being swarmed by geology students, is also the same mountain building events that folded rocks in Cork.
