50-FEET RAISED BEACH AT RUE DES 

 ANNEVILLES. 



A well recently sunk at the elbow of the road has exposed 

 the fact that the beach known to exist at the Capelles and at 

 Annevilles is also found in the position named. Evidently 

 the bay of the period of the 50ft. elevation of sea-level swept 

 around an arc of a wide circle. 



The deposits are shown in the adjoining section : — 



A. A few feet of soil. This is evidently derived 

 from the glacial clay deposited over the 

 beach. 



B - Rolled beach stones 5ft. thick, containing 

 many more flints than is usual. Some of 

 these are white in colour, but many are 

 stained yellow by the iron derived from the 

 clay. 



8 feet of sea-gravel with comparatively little 

 sand. This is an unusual depth and was 

 probably collected by wave action meeting 

 from both sides of a comparatively confined 

 bay. 



D. The deposits rest on a rock surface which has 

 been sea-eroded.
