'Granite Teeth' Cornwall

The most incredible aerial erosion of granite over eons, forming huge molars of hard rock on the cliff & hill tops of Cornwall. They look so man made, gigantic Hepworth or Moore sculptures, but are completely naturally formed. the granite tors were 'bubbles' of lava that popped up through weaknesses in the earth's crust, and form many of the Cornish hilltops.
