How old is Old Harry Rocks?

The Old Harry Rocks are part of a chalk band that is around 65 million years old. But the rock band has only been submerged by the sea in the last few thousand years. The current rocks known as Old Harry and his wife are a few centuries old, with Harry's original "wife" having collapsed in 1509. The 65Ma event was the KT Boundary, the end of the Cretaceous during which the chalk was formed. The subsequent uplift that formed the uplands from that Chalk was in the Tertiary, which followed the Cretaceous. The stacks themselves are no more than thousands of years old, as the Dorset coast retreated by marine erosion in the sea-level rise following the last Ice Age. The Old Harry rocks are simply stacks left by erosion of the chalk cliff in Purbeck, which extends under the sea all the way to the Needles on the Isle of Wight.
