SW7251 : Faulting and trial level at St Agnes
taken 6 years ago, near to St Agnes, Cornwall, England
Faulting and trial level at St Agnes
Two major faults can be seen here, both partly mineralised. Someone has had a go and started an unsuccessful trial level. Both faults are more than likely related to orogenic collision then later orogenic collapse during the Carboniferous-Permian Variscan event.
Note the offset of the steeper fault by the shallower one.
