Description: Northern part of Amey's Eartham Pit, Boxgrove Common, near Chichester. Decalcification of 'channel fill' deposits. Close-up of water-lain chalky flint gravels with brownish silt layers affected by progressive downward decalcification. This has resulted in the loss of chalk pebbles and hence volume so that the red brown flinty clay residue has collapsed in the decalcified area. The channels are cut into the raised beach deposits ('Slindon Sands'). Shovel approx. 0.9 m.
