What is recorded here
Shell Cove is a small bay on the coast of Torbay, composed primarily of Cretaceous-age limestone. The rock formed from the accumulation of marine sediments in a shallow tropical sea, and the cove is notable for its well-exposed coastal cliffs that provide a local example of sedimentary rock layers from the Upper Cretaceous period.
