What is recorded here
Copperheap Bay features sandstone and shale cliffs of Carboniferous age, formed around 300 to 360 million years ago through sedimentary deposition in ancient coastal and marine environments. The area is notable for its well-exposed rock strata and potential for fossil finds, typical of the geological formations in the Cumberland region.
