| Caption: | Sharp anticlinal fold in Weald Clay, Southwater Brickworks, Southwater, Horsham, Sussex. |
| Description: | Looking east at Southwater Brickworks, Horsham at a sharp anticlinal fold in Weald Clay. A zone of highly folded beds, about 50 yards wide, was exposed in the workings of Weald Clay at the Southwater Brickworks. These folds run in an east-west direction, and pitch towards the west at about 10 degrees; the beds to the south of this zone are undisturbed, and lie practically horizontally. They are bounded on the south by a fault. Folding which appears to be a pressure adjustment confined within the mass of the Weald Clay, is a continuation of that exposed in these workings in 1931. The Weald Clay Formation consists predominantly of clay and silty clay but also includes thin beds of sandstone, shelly limestone and clay-ironstone which being more resistant to erosion forms low escarpments. The Weald Clay displays cyclic sedimentation. |
