What is recorded here
The Cow & Calf is a coastal rock formation in North Yorkshire, composed of Jurassic limestone, formed around 150–180 million years ago through the accumulation of marine sediments. It is notable for its distinctive twin-peak shape, likely shaped by differential erosion along bedding planes or joints.
