| Popis: |
The lithological and faunal sequences observed in the Gault in cored boreholes in East Anglia are described, and the formation is divided into 19 distinctive beds that can be recognised throughout the region. The nature of the Gault overstep onto the London Platform is described: so too is the correlation between the argillaceous Gault and the red nodular limestones of the Red Chalk of north Norfolk. It is suggested that the Lower Gault of the northern part of East Anglia was deposited in a shallow marine embayment lying between the exposed Palaeozoic rocks of the London Platform in the south and a shoal of chamosite oolite sand (the Carstone) in the north. |
