Editing Newquay (section)

===Geology===
The bedrock underlying Newquay is the [[Devonian]] age [[Meadfoot Group]], a succession of interbedded [[mudstone]]s, [[siltstone]]s and [[sandstone]]s, with occasional beds of [[limestone]]. [[Quaternary]] age deposits of blown sand cover the bedrock in the western part of the town. Some mineralisation associated with the [[Cornubian batholith|Cornubian granite batholith]] that intrudes into much of the peninsular is found in the western part of the town near [[Fistral Beach]], in the form of [[lode]]s of [[lead]] and [[silver]] minerals.
