What is recorded here
Garnless Scar is a sea cliff composed primarily of Jurassic limestone, formed around 160 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its exposure of the Whitby Mudstone Formation, which is significant for fossil-rich layers and its role in understanding the region’s Mesozoic geological history.
