What is recorded here

Anchor Cove is a small coastal bay composed primarily of London Clay, a marine deposit from the Eocene epoch, around 56 to 48 million years old. The cove's formation is linked to differential erosion along the Thames Estuary coastline, and it is notable for its accessible exposures of Eocene sedimentary rock in an otherwise low-lying and developed area.
