What is recorded here
White Cliffs of Dover is shown as a cliff on the public map of Dover. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
The White Cliffs of Dover are composed mainly of chalk formed during the Cretaceous period, approximately 70 to 100 million years ago, from the remains of marine microorganisms. They are notable for their striking white color and iconic status as a symbol of England, formed by the accumulation of calcium-rich deposits in a shallow tropical sea.
