The following information is about Unconformity.
Unconformity Defined
The contact between older rocks and younger sedimentary rocks in which at least some erosion has removed some of the older rocks before deposition of the younger. An angular unconformity shows that the older rocks have been deformed and eroded before the younger sedimentary rocks were deposited; there is an angle between the beds of the older and the younger.
This definition is in context to Geologic. See more contextual defintions for Unconformity.

- Siccar Point: Siccar Point Field Excursion Preview Introduction This preview is intended to give you a good idea of what the Siccar Point excursion is all about in terms of location and geological features. It is not an alternative to the excursion. You might think of it as briefing notes - the more you know in advance the more you will be able to engage in discussion and observation during the event. You will meet two major rock formations: * Silurian greywackes laid down in a deep sea environment about 425 million years ago. * Devonian sandstones deposited on a broad coastal plain periodically flooded by the sea about 345 million years ago.
