Description: Irish geologist Patrick Ganly's sketch of rocks on the shoreline at Coosnagloor, near Mount Eagle on the Dingle peninsula, Co.Kerry, Ireland. The top part of the sketch shows a tightly-folded syncline: north to south the rocks get younger until the bedding is inverted. The bottom part details the cross-stratification which helped to indicate the original 'way up' of the rock.
