What is recorded here
Zawn Rinny is a sea cliff in Cornwall composed primarily of Devonian slate, formed around 380 million years ago through sedimentary deposition and subsequent regional metamorphism. The cliff is notable for its steep, rugged profile and its exposure of ancient rock layers that provide insight into the geological history of the Cornubian terrane.
