The Chalky Boulder Clays of Norfolk and Suffolk

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

In the past there have been two main lines of approach to the glacial problems of East Anglia:—

(1) Attempts to find out the number of. glacial and interglacial deposits; and

(2) The direction or directions of ice-movement as shown by the constituent materials.

A fresh investigation of the boulder clays has been undertaken, combining as far as possible these two points of view, with special attention (so far) to the varieties of “Chalky Boulder Clay” (see Baden-Powell, 1948, pp. 287–8).
