I can't believe it! When my professor said that we would be visiting the Wessex Basin, I never thought that it'd be classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Who would have thought!
Then I found out why. It's because in the Wessex Basin, it contains a series of formations from the Basement Rocks in the Pre-Cambrian age to up to Holocene! Wow wow wow! It's amazing!! A series of successive strata outcropping along the beach, one after another! We even saw source rocks, oil seeps, nodding donkeys and castles!
Wah!!! I will study so, so hard and do my best here!
Dawlish - Aeolian Sandstones - Poorly consolidated.
When we take a chip of the rock, and crush it with our hands, it turns into sand immediately!
Just like magic!
A rock covered in green algae... Lovely! Mystic!
Cows on top of the hill!
A retirement town! Many people come golfing here, and walk their dogs along the beach!
Lulworth Cove
So, this is how a cove looks like!
Check out the folds and erosions!
Oil Seeps!
Ooids!!!!! Good reservoir potential!
Castle
Nodding Donkey! Yes yes yes! I've finally seen one real, nodding donkey in operation!
Fractured reservoir! In the direction perpendicular to the maximum stress (I think).. multiple directions here because of the presence of multiple stress.
Parallelisms: Here is what I see ahead of me: My infinite life-while my vision is limited, the journey ahead is long, bumpy, wet and slippery.
Regardless, God is with me... I will survive!
