faculty.washington.edu/rturner1/RT_Beachrock_article.pdf "Rates of beachrock formation are undoubtedly variable but are generally believed to be quite rapid, on the scale of months to years (Frankel, 1968). For example, Hopley (1986) reported that beachrock formed within six months on Magnetic Island near Townsville, Australia, while Moresby (1835) wrote that Indian Ocean natives made an annual harvest of beachrock for building stone and within a year they had a new lithified crop."
