.... As the Jurassic sediments of Lincolnshire are traced northwards across the Humber estuary, there is a persistent thinning of the beds, with younger strata overlapping older strata, and this, together with the subsequent downcutting of the Albian Carstone Formation, has led to the famous section at Goodmanham near...
