geology


Geology is the study of rocks and rock formations. Loughshinny has very famous cliffs.  They are one of the best examples of rock folding.  These folds are called "chevrons". The rock type is shale and limestone with some white quartz. The rock was formed about 330 million years ago and the folding occurred 290 million years ago.
