Location: Ladram Bay, Jurassic Coast, Devon, United Kingdom, 2012.

Little bit of history: The “Otter Sandstone” that forms the cliffs and sea stacks were deposited in a hot dry climates in the Triassic Period about 220 Million years ago. The “Otter Sandstone” is the richest source of Triassic reptile remains in Britain and one of the most important in the world. At the south-west end of the bay, the most common fossils in the sandstone are networks of vertical, tube-like carbonate petrifactions (rhizocretions): these represent the roots of plants that were able to survive in the harsh dry climate of the Triassic Period.

Little bit of history: Swanage’s Victorian pier is over 100 years old and is one of two built, although it is the only one that survives complete today (…). It is situated on the eastern coast of the Isle of Purbeck, approximately 10km south of Poole and 40km east of Dorchester in the United Kingdom (…). The original Swanage Pier was built between 1859 and 1861 for use primarily by the local stone quarrying industry (…). By Wikipedia: link.
