Layers of limestone in a rock outcrop indicate that the area had at some time been?

A rock outcrop is the part of a rock formation that appears above land. so if i am not mistaken this area had been covered by water. but i could be wrong +++ You are not mistaken, but not quite there. Limestone is laid down under water - most of the limestones (including chalk) we see formed under the sea but some formed in lakes. Their terrestrial outcrop normally occurs because their region was uplifted by tectonic action, though world-wide ("eustatic") sea-level changes can also reveal them. This is particularly true of the Chalk, because the sea-level in the Cretaceous, when it formed, was up 300metres above present.
