What is recorded here

Nant-y-Gamar is a sea cliff located in Conwy, formed from Silurian greywacke and shale, approximately 440 to 420 million years old. These rocks were deposited in deep marine environments and later uplifted and eroded to form the prominent coastal feature, which is notable for its exposure of ancient Welsh Basin sedimentary sequences.
