Looking down into
the same cove we saw from a bit farther back yesterday, the west (left) wall is improbably flat and straight. This is almost certainly a fault surface. It could possibly be a joint, but the jointing here is extremely irregular, and such an extensive one along a consistent plane seems unlikely. Above the sea cave in the middle left of the photo, we can see two vertical fractures which apparently form the boundaries of that cave; from that we can see they're roughly parallel. I'll post a view of the east (right) side of the cove tomorrow, then a shot of the whole shebang the next day. Together, these photos suggest that the cove represents a fault zone several tens of feet wide.
