Summary[edit]

Description

PKOCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGHCAL SOCIETY.
In the middle of the Sangatte series a line of chalk boulders, de-
posited at an angle of 12°, is shown in some places. At about half a
-pig. 14. — Section of Cliff East of Freshwater Gate, Isle of Wight,
Eig. 15. — Section of Sangatte Cliff from the heach.
mile from this point Mr. Prestwich found, just above high-water
mark, abundance of freshwater shells of living species in a fine tran-
quilly deposited marl covered by 50 feet of gravel, continuous with
the upper 30 ft. of the gravel shown in fig. 15. The slope of the
covering bed of gravel .e) is not more than 1° or 2°. There is very
high ground at the back of this section (which is near Cape Blanc-
nez), from which the chalk and gravel were derived and thrown over
the ancient chalk-cliff 80 feet high.
Near the village of Sangatte the covering gravel reaches high-
water mark, and the whole of the middle series intercalated between
the basement gravel and the covering gravel is seen.
While the materials of the gravel at Sangatte are principally
brought over the cliff from the high land, they are interstratified
with an ordinary beach and with a lacustrine deposit formed at the
same time within a few feet of the present level of high water.

A similar beach, or a similar lacustrine deposit, might be formed

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
