Gash - Breccia

In Box Bay is a wide section of sea cliff - comprising Limestone fragments in a cementing material - gash breccia .
Stained red at this location .

Possibly a Fault Breccia resulting from the grinding action of two fault blocks as they slide past each other . The broken fragments have become cemented together through the action of water ???

Exposed by Marine Erosion - cutting in to features of the former Karstic Landscape .

Similar exposures at Bullslaughter Bay / Flimston Bay .
