The Fossiliferous beds of Whitesand Bay, in the strike of the Plymouth limestone, are also probably older than that limestone. In the Brixham area the limestone of Higher Brixham, extending from a little west of that town to Sharkham Point, is doubled under beds to the south older than itself. This is seen to be the case near the Point, the base of a sharply doubled inclined trough being well exposed above the sea-level, the contorted Red Sandstones of Southdown Cliff corresponding with an anticlinal. The beds are not cut out by a fault along the strike, and it is a mistake to represent the iron-ore of Sharkham Point as a lode. In the Torquay district, provided that the CocMngton Red Sandstones, like those of the Lincombe and Warberry Hills, can be shown to be older than the limestones, these last must be the newest Pal...
