1029 GB - Dorset and East Devon Coast (2001)

Brief Description

"The cliff exposures along the Dorset and East Devon coast provide an almost continuous sequence of rock formations spanning the Mesozoic Era, or some 185 million years of the earth's history. The area's important fossil sites and classic coastal geomorphologic features have contributed to the study of earth sciences for over 300 years."

多塞特和东德文海岸
"多塞特和东德文海岸沿岸的悬崖，展示了约1.85亿年间的地球发展历程，其岩层序列几乎毫无间断地记录了中生代的地质史。该地区是重要的化石采集基地，具有典型的海岸地形特征，300多年来对地球科学研究做出了贡献。"
