What is recorded here
Clay Ope is a coastal rock feature in Dorset, composed primarily of Upper Cretaceous chalk, formed around 85 million years ago through the accumulation of marine microfossils. It is notable for its exposure of geological strata and its role in illustrating the region's extensive chalk formations shaped by ancient seas.
