Recent excavations in 2024 revealed a volcanic ash tuff layer, which has led to a revised dating of the Bromacker rocks at 294 million years.
This new age is significant as it challenges previous estimates that placed the rocks at 290 million years.
The implications of this finding extend to our understanding of geological timelines and the evolution of the region's geological features.
