What is recorded here
Slippy Stones is a sea cliff composed primarily of Carboniferous limestone, formed around 340–320 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. The cliff is notable for its exposure of fossil-rich rock layers, which provide evidence of ancient reef environments and are of interest to geologists and fossil collectors.
