Chalk cliffs of the cretaceous period, either side of the older Jurassic period Portland limestone Durdle Dor outcrop.


A stretch of the geologically fascinating jurassic coast UNESCO world heritage site. Rocks of different ages are juxtaposed, the different angles showing the action of plate tectonics. Bays have formed where the softer sandstones and clays have been eroded by the sea.
