Devonian slates C017 / 8319
Devonian slates. Close-up of banded Devonian coastal rocks and coloured slates at Polzeath, Cornwall, UK. Slate is a metamorphic rock. Most of the rocks we see at the Earths surface are sediments, sand and coloured muds which settle to the sea bed. These can be altered later as the heat and pressure of tectonic forces cause structural changes in the rocks (metamorphism). The slates vary in colour from black to yellow to brown to green to purple. Other formations and patterns arise when granite and quartz veins (white) penetrate surroundings rocks

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Devonian slates found along the coastal rocks of Polzeath, Cornwall in the United Kingdom. The close-up shot reveals intricate bands and vibrant colors that adorn these metamorphic rocks. Unlike most surface rocks composed of sediments like sand and mud, these slates have undergone a transformation due to tectonic forces altering their structure through heat and pressure. The diverse palette of slate hues ranges from deep black to warm yellow, earthy brown, lush green, and regal purple. Adding further intrigue to this geological marvel are the white veins formed by intrusive granite and quartz penetrating the surrounding rock formations. This image not only captures the stunning patterns and colors but also serves as a testament to Earth's ever-changing landscape. It reminds us that beneath our feet lies a world shaped by powerful natural forces over millions of years. Dr. Keith Wheeler's expert lens has immortalized this snapshot of nature's artistry, allowing us to appreciate its complexity up close. Whether you're an enthusiast in geology or simply captivated by Mother Nature's wonders, this photograph is sure to ignite your curiosity about Earth's rich mineralogical tapestry found on its magnificent seashores.
