What is recorded here
Jenkin Crag is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340 to 320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its exposure of durable limestone strata, which are significant for understanding the geological history of the English Lake District and surrounding coastal areas.
