The layered, sedimentary rock formed during the Carboniferous, a 60-million-year-long period lasting from about 359 million to 299 million years ago. That's long before dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
As the land surface was flooded [as sea levels rose], sediments were laid down progressively inland.
In 1393, an arch leading to the 150-foot-tall (45 meters) sea stack collapsed during a storm, according to Dunbriste.com. This may explain why it was named Dún Briste, which is Gaelic for "broken fort."
