Thin coal seams, Saltwick Bay

Thin coal seams in the sandstone cliffs of Saltwick Bay near Whitby on the North Yorkshire Coast.
Coal is a sedimentary rock formed from peat (the remains of plants which lived millions of years ago in tropical wetlands), and compressed by the pressure of rocks which were later laid down on top.
