What is recorded here
High Wold 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 preservation and provides insights into the region's ancient marine environment.
