Summary[edit]

Description
English: Paramoudra surrounded by seaweed. Flint nodules such as the one seen here are called paramoudras. These large nodules were once embedded in the chalk layer; some have a central core that is filled with chalk but once exposed the soft chalk is quickly washed out by wave action, leaving a large hole. The paramoudra seen here still has some of its chalk core left. Another name for these paramoudras is pot stone; specimens can be spotted in gardens where they serve as nature-made flower pots.
