Mornington Red Bluff
The cliff is a 10 m exposure of Baxter Sandstone, the upper terrestrial unit of the Mornington Peninsula Tertiary sedimentary formations. It is a hard, coarse-grained, cross-bedded rock, stained red and yellow and cemented by iron. There are two distinct groups of beds at this outcrop, the upper 5 m being harder, more ferruginous and darker in colour, while the lower units display strong cross-bedding. This outcrop has a gentle dip to the south. A broad scree slope has built up around the base of the cliff partly covering an irregular boulder and gravel veneered platform. Near the mouth of Tanti Creek, there is a clear exposure of a higher level platform overlain by rounded gravels and shells. The same feature appears on the south western side of Red Bluff.
Printed on high quality photo paper and shipped in a dent resistant tube.
Slight cropping may result due to the aspect ratio of the different print sizes.
Postage is included.
