This Geological Conservation Review site shows deep subaerial sands and breccias burying a fossil cliff, shoreplatform, wave-cut notch and cave. The sands are of Pleistocene age and thought to be aeolian (windblown) coversands. They contain recycled foraminifera (eroded from older rocks) and open-ground terrestrial mollusca. Fossils of mammalian fauna include horse, bear, wolf, fox and several rodent species.[1]
