What is recorded here
Ardminish Bay features sandstone and limestone cliffs formed during the Carboniferous period, approximately 300 to 360 million years ago, through sedimentary deposition in shallow marine environments. The area is notable for its well-exposed coastal sections that provide insights into ancient reef systems and fossil-rich strata.
