Millions of years ago, a tide went out and left this ripple pattern on a beach. It’s now to be seen, uptilted, on the Wren’s Nest National Nature Reserve in Dudley.
Closer views showing the ripple patterns on more than one level. At least one complete beach level has fallen off in the decades since I made the first of my occasional visits to the reserve.
The view looking at the side of the hill with these fossil beaches. Hopefully, there are still many more to be revealed in turn.
