What is recorded here
Saltern Cove consists of Jurassic limestone, approximately 150 to 200 million years old, formed from the accumulation of marine sediments in a shallow tropical sea. The cove is notable for its well-exposed coastal cliffs, which provide a classic example of differential erosion and the effects of wave action on layered sedimentary rock.
