Shallow marine – estuarine – tidal flat – lagoon and coastal dunes
This collection of images spans the shallowest marine environments including beach, lagoon-bay with all the associated environments such as sand-spits and barrier-bars, tidal flats, estuaries and coastal dunes. Where possible I have paired modern analogues with ancient examples.
The Atlas, as are all blogs, is a publication. If you use the images, please acknowledge their source (it is the polite, and professional thing to do).
Three images of potholes in Burren Limestone, Flaggy Shore, County Clare. Pebbles and cobbles become trapped in bedrock depressions that are gradually enlarged and deepened by the abrasive action of the clast moved and jostled by waves.
