What is recorded here
Elephant Rock is a natural coastal arch formed in Jurassic sandstone, approximately 150 to 180 million years old. It was shaped by differential erosion, where softer rock layers were worn away faster than the more resistant sandstone, creating the distinctive arch form, making it a notable example of coastal geomorphology.
