Generally situated on the flat sandstone rock shelfs that become exposed along the coastline at low tides. In the Sydney, Australia region these small rock pools range in size from two inches (5cm) to several feet (60 cm) in diameter. In many cases these pools house a number of quite small shells (say a quarter of an inch or 6 mm across). One theory is that the water swirling over the pools cause turbulence and move these shells around thereby abrading the perimeter and bottom surfaces of the much softer sandstone.
In many areas, these pools have stood proud of the surrounding rock shelf and give the appearance of distinct volcanos. A group of these “volcanos” can be arranged in an aesthetic and artistic picture.
Natural Art is how I term it.
Another type of formation is where the depressions formed around trapped shells are combined into a clump and may give the appearance of a maze, or the inside of a brain. Overall some of these clumps might also take on the appearance of a small animal.
Larger sized rock pools are also found and these tend to shelter various forms of algae which have their own colours and artistic merit. Also many of the larger shallow pools have sand washed into them and live shellfish wander around leaving a random “breadcrumb” trail behind them.
