A small hill or ridge, especially one with a rocky surface common in limestone areas.
From Old English 'clint' or 'glint,' possibly related to Dutch and Germanic words for 'cling' or 'clinker.' Used geologically to describe exposed rock formations.
Clints appear in limestone regions like the British Pennines where rocks form amazing patterns called 'karst topography'—the same geological process creates both dramatic cliff faces and underground cave systems.
