Pointe an Dorais is a coastal rock feature composed of metamorphic schist, likely dating to the Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian period, around 600 to 540 million years old. It formed through regional metamorphism during ancient tectonic collisions and is notable for its resistant, layered structure that has withstood significant coastal erosion.
