You have to love a pebbly beach, but especially one with a great range of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks 😍

A mylonite beach pebble, a 600 My old microcosm of plate tectonics

A little bit of sheared and folded Neoproterozoic schist from Anglesey, Wales, a great place to understand how complex orogeny can be

Because you cannot beat a good fold 😍 especially examples like this that show complex 3D geometry

Wall of the week; crinoids! And possibly stylolites dissolving them. Beautiful 😍
