What is recorded here
Cross Ness is shown as a cliff on the public map of Shetland Islands. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Cross Ness is a sea cliff located in the Shetland Islands, composed primarily of Old Red Sandstone, dating to the Devonian period, around 400 to 360 million years ago. It formed through sedimentation in a shallow marine or fluvial environment, later uplifted and eroded by coastal processes, and is notable for its accessibility and exposure of ancient sedimentary rock layers.
