Marl seams which were injected into chalk cores by the drilling process are described. These artificial marl layers resemble thin debris flow deposits and may be falsely identified. Their diagnostic characteristics are described in order to distinguish them from sedimentary marl seams. In the cored section studied about 400f the total number of marl seams are injected and thus are artefacts.
