Particles of stone ruin at sea (9)
I believe the answer is:
neutrinos
'particles' is the definition.
(neutrino is a kind of particle)
'stone ruin at sea' is the wordplay.
'at sea' indicates an anagram.
'stone'+'ruin'='stoneruin'
'stoneruin' anagrammed gives 'NEUTRINOS'.
'of' is the link.
(Another definition for neutrinos that I've seen is " Particles".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
