Transported iSTcocomians seem to make up thegreater part of the Basement Clay, and this peculiarity continues forover a quarter of a mile farther north. Fig. 14.—Section at the top of the cliff at Common Hole, Selivicks,showing surface-contortion in the Chalk. , The wavy lines represent the Chalk-with-flints : top layers broken into is seen the dark Basement Boulder-clay. The uppermost layers of the Chalk on either side of the bay showvery fine examples of surface-contortions due to glacial are best seen on the north side near The Limekiln, and onthe south side in the outstanding ridge at Common Hole (shownin fig. 14) and above the mouth of Kirk Hole. In all thesecases the top beds of the Chalk are throw q into sharp folds,and the crest of the fold is generally broken and shaved off* so asto pass imperceptibly into the overlying rough chalk-rubble or intoBoulder-clay f.
