What is recorded here
Long Band 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 prominent banding of sedimentary layers, which reflects ancient depositional environments and tectonic activity in the region.
