What is recorded here
Ore Bay is shown as a bay on the public map of Orkney Islands. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Ore Bay on the Orkney Islands consists mainly of Old Red Sandstone, formed during the Devonian period around 400 to 360 million years ago. The rock was deposited in a shallow marine to fluvial environment and is notable for its exposure of sedimentary layers that provide insights into ancient geological and paleoenvironmental conditions in the region.
