What is recorded here
Calfclose Bay features a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. The cliffs are notable for their exposure of fossil-rich rock layers, which provide insights into ancient marine environments of the region.
