Geo-Needle

This monument (the Geo-Needle) marks the beginning of the Jurassic Coast, a spectacular coastline and UNESCO World Heritage Site between Orcombe Point in Devon and Old Harry Rocks in Dorset. UK.

 

The coastal exposures along the coastline provide a continuous sequence of Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous rock formations spanning approximately 185 million years of the Earths history.

 

To the right of the Geo-Needle is the centre of the MilkyWay Galaxy which is believed to be around 14 billion years old...!
