What is recorded here

Devil's Thumb is a prominent coastal rock feature composed primarily of basalt, formed during the Palaeogene period (approximately 60 to 55 million years ago) as part of the basaltic lava flows associated with the Antrim Plateau. It is notable for its distinctive thumb-like shape, likely sculpted by differential erosion along the coastline.
