What is recorded here
Green Scar is a sea cliff composed mainly of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its distinctive greenish hue, likely due to mineral staining or vegetation, and for its exposure of geological strata that provide insight into ancient marine environments.
