1.5 - STACKPOLE QUAY - BROAD HAVEN(SOUTH)
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 .
