What is recorded here
Black Rock is a sea cliff composed primarily of Devonian slate, formed around 380 million years ago through the compression of sedimentary layers. It is notable for its dark coloration and resistant rock formation, which has withstood coastal erosion to become a prominent coastal landmark in Cornwall.
