What is recorded here
St Ronan's Bay features a sea cliff composed primarily of Jurassic sandstone and shale, formed around 160 to 174 million years ago through sedimentary deposition in a shallow marine environment. The cliffs are notable for their well-preserved fossil content and the exposure of alternating layers that reflect changing ancient sea conditions.
