Canvas Prints from Science Photo Library
Devonian slates C017 / 8314
Devonian slates and barnacles. 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 and barnacles found along the coastal rocks of Polzeath, Cornwall in the United Kingdom. The close-up shot reveals the intricate patterns formed by these banded rocks, which are a result of metamorphism - a process where heat and pressure from tectonic forces cause structural changes in sedimentary rocks. Slate, being a metamorphic rock, exhibits an array of colors ranging from black to yellow, brown to green, and even purple. The photograph also highlights how white granite and quartz veins penetrate through these surrounding rocks, creating additional formations and patterns. The image captures not only the geological significance but also the stunning natural aesthetics found on this seashore. Each layer tells a story about Earth's history as sediments settle on the sea bed over time. This snapshot serves as a reminder that most of what we see on our planet's surface is composed of sediments like sand and colored muds. Dr Keith Wheeler's expertise in earth science shines through this visually striking composition captured by Science Photo Library. It invites viewers to appreciate both the scientific aspects behind these formations and their inherent visual appeal.
