Photograph of Siccar Point unconformity

Unconformity. Hutton's Unconformity at Siccar Point, Scotland, UK, is the classic example of an angular unconformity because that is where the famous geologist recognized the importance of unconformities in geology. Note the vertical beds in the foreground beneath gently dipping beds to the left.
