Why this matters
Langscar is a sea cliff composed primarily of Jurassic limestone, formed around 160 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. The cliff 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 ancient marine environment.
