RADIOACTIVE NODULES OF LITTLEHAM COVE

Messaggio da Amazon Geiger » 15/03/2017, 20:47

Budleigh Salterton (map reference - SY 067818) is a pleasant, quiet, small sea-side town which can be reached from Exeter on the A377 and A376 via Exmouth, or by the A3052 to Newton Poppleford and then south by the A376. From the east it can be reached by the A3052 road from Lyme Regis (and Dorchester etc), again turning south from Newton Poppleford. It is most famous geologically for the Budleigh Salterton Pebble Beds which are seen at the high cliffs just west of the town. Beyond at Littleham Cove are radioactive nodules with vanadium and uranium in red marl. The Otter Sandstone is seen on the east side, beneath the hill from which the photograph above was taken, and further east beyond the Otter River. It is also visible on the west side above the Budleigh Salterton Pebble Beds.
