Concretions in sandstone Variable cementing of the sandstone, Carboniferous in age, by carbonates has resulted in irregular weathering and the appearance of large, dark-coloured nodules on the eroded surfaces. The presence of bedding planes passing straight through some nodules is indicative of the structure being secondary in nature. The dark colour is largely due to the slow ablation of the surface compared to less heavily-cemented areas, and the surface is stable enough to be colonised by lichens (yellow Caloplaca is prominent).
