At Whitecliff Bay the type section of the Bracklesham Beds (Fisher 1862) is 182 m (598 ft) thick and consists mainly of sands, clays and sandy clays yielding a marine fauna, and laminated beds (Fig. 3). The minor differences between Fisher's inter- pretation of the lithological divisions within the Bracklesham Beds and that of the author are mainly due to variations in the degree of exposure in the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original British Museum (Natural History).
