(Abereiddy) - 1995
The high ground on the south side of the bay is formed by steeply dipping murchisoni shale's from the Upper Llanvirn, Didymograptus murchisoni is quite common along with Glyptograpthus sp. To the north, succession passes up into beds of Llandeilo age which makes the main foreshore, continuing north is the Castell Limestone, formed of alternating beds of Caradocian limestone and shale. A narrow cliff top path crosses north over the northern headland, a small cove eroded in upfauted didymograptus bifidus beds, from the lower Lianvirn. This is a fault, and the disused 'Porth Gain Slate' quarry provides excellent exposures of these beds.
