Geologist input requested!

I came across this interesting feature, apparently shear stress of some sort between layers in sandstone in the northern Rhinogydd range in Eryri. The face is part of a long-abandoned manganese mine.

Can someone please provide a good explanation? 🙏

@nev Another cute bee you might try to find is Osmia inermis, a rarely-photographed species with a Palearctic distribution. Their mud-and-chewed-leaves brood chambers can be found by FLIPPING ROCKS. To narrow down which rocks to turn over you should look for pollen-laden mason bees disappearing into pebble fields. #bees #rocks #osmia #insects inaturalist.org/observations/2

I loved this scenic view in Capitol Reef National Park because of all the layers of flora and rock formations from a foreground of shrubs and grasses to distant background red rock cliffs. The scene shows the rugged beauty of the desert environment.
