Description: Botany Bay, Foreness Point. Looking ESE. Natural arch in Upper Chalk - Botany Bay. Nearly vertical, closely space jointing in Uintacrinus Zone chalk, has weakened it, leading to the formation of the natural arch. Eventually the arch will collapse leaving the seaward part of the promontory as a sea-stack on the wave-cut platform.
