Sea terraces in Cogoleto

Looking at the dark rocky promontory in the direction of Cogoleto, you can see various indications of the old sea level: - an "abrasion platform", i.e., an almost level rocky platform (at times interrupted by fractures) placed between 5 metres and 6 metres above the current sea level which corresponds to the abrasion surface formed by the movement of the sea when it was at that level; - an overhanging deposit of white pebbles (1.5 metres in depth) which was the beach at that time. The elements described above were only partially covered up to 14 metres
to 15 metres by scree from the slope, formed by pointed rocks fragments, immerged in soil with finer granulometry and of a reddish colour.
