A glance at thirty thousand years - Thousand Layer Rock

▶️Name: Pancake Rocks and Blowholes ▶️Address: Main Road, Paparoa 7873, New Zealand ▶️Features: Like a huge stack of pancakes ▶️Formation: Formed 30 million years ago. For thousands of years, small marine organisms and sand alternately layered and buried under the sea, producing hard limestone and soft sandstone deposits that formed multi-layered areas. Seismic activity raised the sea floor and eventually dried up. Years of wind and rain eroded the soft sandstone. Finally, hundreds of strata were formed vertically along the cliff gullies.
