This book is a detailed exploration of England's Cretaceous geological era, and its most notable rock formations, the Gault, Red Chalk, and Upper Greensand. It draws on years of historical observations dating back to the early 19th century and presents them within the context of modern knowledge and understanding. The author provides a comprehensive account of the historical development of names given to these specific rock formations, and explains why the term 'Selbornian' was ultimately used as a general designation for them. Also included is a thorough analysis of the fossils discovered in each group and the various environments in which these deposits were formed. Additionally, the author discusses the economic impact of these rock formations and the water supply they provide. Meticulously researched, this book offers valuable insights into the geological history of England's Cretaceous period and its lasting legacy on the landscape.
