Summary edit
| Description |
English: Carboniferous Limestone Great thicknesses of limestone of Carboniferous age (~350 million years) remain in the coastal hills in this area. Quarries on the south-facing slopes are no longer active, but serious extraction continues on the coast. The limestone is the result of accumulation of carbonate-rich muds from microscopic algae and shelly debris forming obvious fossils. Here the layers of the rock can be seen to dip steadily to the North. |
