What is recorded here
Jack Scars is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. The cliff is notable for its exposure of folded and faulted rock layers, reflecting the intense tectonic activity of the Variscan Orogeny.
