VI.—Further Notes on the Stratigraphy and Fauna of the Trimmingham Chalk

Extract

Downwashed sand and mud much obscured the section, but the clay appeared to be definitely continuous, while the chalk might be continuous under the mask of mud, but did not seem likely to be so. The section suggested very strongly a flat sheet of clay pushed at a level some way below the beach against a backward sloping and then overarching surface (e.g. the side of a cave), which it had followed until doubled back upon itself.
