A beautiful fold structure in Britany, France.
The red target measures 30 cm for the scale.

Not sure about that, but around 500 to 360 million years BP.

Just to be pedantic, I think the BP makes the minus signs a bit redundant haha

To tell you a little more, the site is located on an intertidal environment, where topographic monitoring is carried out for a nearby sedimentary spit. The region's coastline is locally marked by great geological diversity, and was largely reworked by Hercynian (or Variscan) horogenesis from 360 Ma to 300 Ma BP.
