What is recorded here
Croyde Bay's coastal rocks are primarily composed of Devonian-age slates and shales, formed around 380 million years ago from compressed mud and silt in a deep marine environment. The area is notable for its well-exposed coastal sections that provide insights into the geological history of the Devonian period in southwest England.
