The Isle of Man (Manx: Mannin, also Ellan Vannin, also known as Mann) is a self-governing British Crown Dependency, located in the Irish Sea between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland.
"Geologically most of the island is composed of hardened Ordovician Manx Group greywackes, siltstones, mudstones and breccias, commonly referred to collectively by their old name - the Manx Slates. These are flanked by younger rocks to the south and north. At the south end (around Castletown and Langness) there are exposures of Carboniferous rocks. The succession here comprises a limestone sequence underlain by 20m of Carboniferous Basement Conglomerate resting on the Manx Slates. The limestones comprise 100m or more of relatively thinly bedded limestones with shale partings (the Castletown Limestones) overlain by 60m of the largely reef facies Poyllvaaish Limestones, and lastly 6m of Black Limestones. Overlying these are volcanic rocks of the Scarlett Volcanic Formation. At the other end of the island (north of a line running from Kirk Michael in the west to Ramsey in the east) there is a low-lying area covered by thick glacial tills. Carboniferous rocks have been proved here too, below the tills at depth, but they are not at outcrop. Finally, around Peel there is a small outlier of Carboniferous red sandstone with shale, conglomerate and some impure lenticular limestones".
