What is recorded here
Morte Bay in North Devon features a sea cliff composed mainly of Devonian slate and sandstone, formed around 400 to 360 million years ago through sedimentary deposition and subsequent tectonic activity. The area is notable for its well-exposed coastal geology and the presence of fossil-rich layers that provide insights into ancient marine environments.
