Migmatite Zone

In 1836, Charles Darwin visited some rocks on our Atlantic coast. These are mixed igneous and sedimentary rocks which were influential in understanding the geology of the earth. I took this photo today in the “migmatite zone”. If one were to zoom out, one would see pure sedimentary rock 300 metres / yards to the north, and pure igneous rock 100 metres / yards to the south.
