Unearthing Time: The Geology of the Jurassic Coast

The Jurassic Coast: A History

In this episode we'll be looking at the different rocks, fossils, and formations that are present in the Jurassic Coast and what they can, have, and continue to teach us about the world. Each layer of rock, each towering sea stack, and each piece of sandstone all have a long, rich history and help us understand how the Earth shifted to form different land masses millions of years ago. The geology of the Jurassic Coast is both varied and fascinating, so join us as we discuss what makes it such a well known and respected site.
