Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Devonian slates C017 / 8312
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 intricate patterns and vibrant colors displayed in these banded rocks are a result of their metamorphic nature. While most rocks on Earth's surface consist of sediments and muds that settle at the sea bed, these slates have undergone structural changes due to intense heat and pressure from tectonic forces. The spectrum of hues seen in these slates ranges from deep black to warm yellow, rich brown to lush green, and even regal purple. Adding further intrigue to this geological marvel are the white veins formed by granite and quartz intrusions penetrating through surrounding rocks. This close-up view allows us to appreciate the fine details within each layer, highlighting the complexity of our planet's geological formations. As we delve into earth science and mineralogy, we uncover a world where strata tell stories millions of years old. With its unique blend of colors, textures, and mineral veins, this photograph serves as a testament to both the natural wonders found in Cornwall's coastline and our never-ending fascination with Earth's diverse landscapes.
