| Description: | Amey's Eartham Pit, Boxgrove Common, near Chichester. Head Gravel ('Coombe Deposits'). Typical section of the angular flint gravels which are worked for aggregate at this pit. The upper 4 m. comprises decalcified flint gravel in a red brown clayey matrix ('Upper Coombe Rock'). Below this a thin layer of yellowish brown silt occurs ('Middle Brickearth') up to 0.6 m. thick, overlying 2 m. of partly decalcified chalky flint gravel ('Lower Coombe Rock'), which extends to just above the head of the figure. This rests on up to 4 m. of chalky flinty material occupying an erosional channel (not seen) cut in raised beach sands. |
