What is recorded here
Dungy Head is a headland composed primarily of Cretaceous-age limestone, formed through the accumulation and compression of marine sediments over 90 to 100 million years ago. It is notable for its prominent coastal position and the presence of fossil-rich rock layers that provide insights into ancient marine environments.
