The limestone rocks surrounding the pier outside Doolin village are very rich in small fossils. The limestone here is around 330 million years old. It was formed at a time when Ireland was located south of the equator. During this era, much of Ireland was covered in a warm shallow tropical sea full of prehistoric life and some of whose remains ended up fossilised in the rock itself.
