The photograph shows one of the nine storage galleries, each of which is 10 m wide and 10 m high, with a cross-section of 85 m 2 . The galleries were excavated in two...

Distinctive highs, possibly underlain by granite batholiths ( Donato & Megson 1990 ), controlled sedimentation, and the Albian to Cenomanian...

..., an average periodicity of 1:2.59. The Ferriby Chalk also contains a high number of discrete seams. I counted 27 in an incomplete, 16 m section at Mansgate Quarry near Caistor, Lincolnshire, yielding an average periodicity of 1:0.59, and 32 over 20.4 m at South Ferriby, a periodicity of 1:0.64. By subtracting...

... in eastern England, one pathway for the Stainmore ice was to the North Sea, where it advanced down the east coast of England as far south as north Norfolk ( Madgett & Catt 1978 ). This ice surge, and the till it deposited, blocked the Humber mouth and The Wash ( Gaunt 1981 ; Evans et al. 2001 ), thus...

The faunas are indicative of a depositional environment of ‘normal’ conditions prevalent within the White Chalk Group, in contrast to the Chalk Rock hardgrounds present in the south of England.

The folding and thrusting resulted from transpression emanating from sinistral strike-slip reactivations of a right-hand bend, giving a local ESE–WNW trend, in the major E–W Langtoft Fault within the pre-Chalk basement just to the south. The northern side of the fault displaced westwards...
