What is recorded here
Dean Scar is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its exposure of geological strata and its role in illustrating the coastal erosion processes along the North Yorkshire coast.
