Abstract

An abnormal lithological development of the Chalk Rock occurs in the neighbourhood of Winterborne Abbas, South Dorset, where it contains pebbles of Upper Greensand material. Two exposures of this rock have previously been recorded but further information regarding this variant of the Chalk Rock was obtained during the resurvey of the area in 1936. A possible source of origin for the derived material is suggested.
