Photo 19. Spectacular folds at Ceibwr Bay, along the west coast of Wales near Cardigan. The rocks exposed here are actually Ordovician aged turbidite sequences composed of paler coloured sandstones and darker siltstones and mudstones. They were deposited in the Lower Palaeozoic Welsh Basin from sediment sources further south, probably in present day Pembrokeshire. However, the folding and faulting so spectacularly exposed here was produced by the collision between the Avalonian and Laurentian continents in the Late Silurian to Mid-Devonian Periods.
