Such lovely colours and formations! I love the contrasts. Any fossils?

Amazing colour in the cliff face, and I love the rounded smaller rocks on the beach. Brilliant as a foreground element.

Hello, Jo. I believe these siltstones and sandstones are fossiliferous but I didn’t manage to find any fossils – except Chondrites trace fossils.

I thought it was yet another spectacular beach and had intended to return the next day for more photographs of the geology – but got diverted because there is so much to see in Dingle.
