Talk:Beachrock

Removal of photo added by User: محمد بوعلام عصامي

I've removed the re-addition of a photo of a rocky coastline to this article as it doesn't appear to be of "beachrock" in the strict geological sense. Although the user re-added the photo with the edit comment "Beachrock is very clear in this professional image", that is not the case, and there is nothing in the file page description to support the claim.

Beachrock would not form at present in such a high-energy environment as depicted. Various other factors - the high topographic relief shown in the background, the dip and succession of the strata - also indicate that the exposed rocks are unlikely to be "beachrock" formed in the past and exhumed by erosion. The solution features of the irregular etch surface of the shore platform indicates that the bedrock is calcareous - i.e. probably some form of limestone. The exposed cliff face shows strata with two prominent discontinuities, the upper one with a greater dip, which doesn't seem consistent with being formed in an intertidal environment. Given the arid climate, morphological relief and coarse clastic deposits, a more likely explanation may be that of a sub-aerially deposited fanglomerate.

Most confusing writing

Hello, I am not a Wikipedia editor, but I just wanted to say that the Cementation and position of bedrock section of the article is so poorly written and confusing that I feel it should be removed. 2600:1006:B06A:E0D5:ECB0:C3D4:A714:774E (talk) 16:23, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
