What is recorded here
Black Scar is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its striking dark appearance, likely due to weathering or mineral staining, and its prominence along the North Yorkshire coast.
