The ledges are part of the world-renowned Kimmeridge Clay Formation, which gives its name to the Kimmeridgian stage of the Late Jurassic period (approximately 157.3 to 152.1 million years ago). This formation is highly significant geologically, serving as one of the primary source rocks for hydrocarbons found in the UK's North Sea oil reserves.
