On a Fossiliferous Bed of the Drift Period near the Reculvers

Abstract

This deposit is, like the one described p. 101, spread over the base of a hill, which here slopes down to the marshes separating this part of Kent from the Isle of Thanet. It is exposed in two pits near Wear Farm (see Ordnance Map), on the road from Chislet to the Reculvers. The height of the ground above the level of the adjacent marsh or of the sea, does not exceed 20 to 30 feet.
