Syncline axis (detail), Wrangle Point, near Bude, Cornwall.
A closer view of the hinge zone of the fold in the previous photo. The 'space problem' of accommodating the beds in the hinge zone of the fold is well illustrated here. The thickened hinge zone contains several small-scale thrusts which have disrupted the thin sandstone bands.
I should have included an object for scale in this view but forgot, sorry! The pale sandstone band in the central portion of the photo is about 4 cm thick.
