What is recorded here
The Millstone Band is a prominent band of Carboniferous limestone, approximately 315 to 360 million years old, formed from the accumulation of marine sediments in a shallow tropical sea. It is notable for its durability and historical use as a source of millstones, and its exposure in coastal or river cliff settings provides important insights into regional geological history.
