What is recorded here
Cambridge Crags is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. The crags are notable for their exposure of folded and faulted rock layers, reflecting the region’s history of tectonic activity during the Variscan orogeny.
