What is recorded here

Arne Bay's coastal rocks are primarily composed of Cretaceous-age limestone, formed from the accumulation of marine sediments around 100 to 145 million years ago. The area is notable for its well-exposed cliffs that provide a clear section through the Upper Cretaceous strata, including the Chalk Group, which is of interest to geologists studying the regional geological history of southern England.
