English: 'Lot's Wife' sea-stack, Marsden Bay. Lot's wife is a figure from the Biblical book of Genesis known for being punished by being turned into a pillar of salt Lot's wife
A geological formation on Mount Sodom in Israel overlooking the Dead Sea is called 'Lot's Wife', because of the shape and location of the feature. Interestingly, but probably unknown to those who named the Marsden Bay stack shown here, salts of halite and anhydrite also played an important part in the geology of the rocks along the north-east coast. Large amounts of salts were deposited in the shallow tropical Zechstein Sea that extended from the Pennines over to Germany and Poland in Europe during the Permian period. Subsequent dissolution of these salts caused collapse (brecciation) of the overlying Magnesian Limestone rock layers that predominantly make up the cliffs today, providing much of their distinctive appearance and properties. In some locations, between South Shields and Seaham, all that is left of these once several-metre thick layers, are thin residues.
A fourth chalk prominence off the western coast of the Isle of Wight, from which The Needles take their name1436936, was also called 'Lot's Wife'. It collapsed in 1764. There is another, similarly named coastal feature in Dumfries & Galloway 784085 and undoubtedly others.
Deutsch: „Lot's Wife“ („Lots Weib“): Brandungspfeiler in der Marsden Bay bei Newcastle in Nordost-England. „Lots Weib“ ist eine Figur im Buch Genesis der Bibel, wo sie als Strafe Gottes zur Salzsäule erstarrte (Lot (Altes Testament)).
Eine Gesteinsformation auf dem Berg Sodom in Israel, oberhalb des Toten Meeres, wird aufgrund ihrer Form und dem Ort an dem sie steht „Lots Weib“ genannt. Interessanterweise spielt Steinsalz und Anhydrit für die Geologie der Gesteine der englischen Nordost-Küste ebenfalls eine bedeutende Rolle, was denen, die den Felsen benannt haben, vermutlich nicht bekannt war. Große Mengen an Verdunstungsgesteinen wurden im tropischen Zechsteinmeer, das im Perm von den Pennines in England bis nach Deutschland und Polen hinüberreichte abgelagert. Der Felsen hier besteht aus dem Dolomit des „Concretionary Limestone“, einem lateralen Äquivalent des Staßfurt-Karbonats.
