Back      Cape Gris-Nez       Next

A Jurassic cliff overlooking the sea.

Cape Gris-Nez was formed long before Blanc-Nez because the different layers
were deposited there during the Jurassic period about 170 million years ago.
Sandstone, clay and chalk can be found there.
There are plenty of fossils at the foot of the cliff.
