Lower Carboniferous Shelf Slope Carbonates
 
This first stop is located on the southwestern end of Hook Head adjacent to the lighthouse. The Lower Carboniferous shelf slope carbonates are largely formed of bioclastic packstones to wackestones. The rocks are highly bioturbated exhibiting a Cruziana ichnofacies. bedding planes appear to be current or wave driven erosion surfaces. Sediment surfaces are often coated by fenestral bryozoans. There abundant crinoidal remains and other echinoidea fossils. Corals and brachiopods are common too. Small monoclinal like Variscan folds are common
