THE CRETACEOUS ROCKS Of BRITAIN. 
The succeeding beds are inaccessi ble, but as judged by the eye are 
as follows : — 
feet. 
14 (Jhalk with scattered flints (Barrois 28, 29) - - about 15 
15 Chalk with two layers of flint nodules (B. 30, 31, 32) „ 4 
16 Chalk without flints, soft and marly in lower part so as to 
weather into a niche (B. 33) - about 6 
17 Chalk with flints, both scattered and in layers „ 20 
Above this is a talus slope which conceals the junction of the 
Terebratulina zone with that of Holaster planus. There is 
probably about 20 feet more of the former zone, making a total 
of about 93 feet (if Bed 8, p. 436, is included). This upper 20 feet 
can be seen at the south end of Whitecliff, and in it there is a layer 
of dark grey marl. 
The large quarries (not now worked) north-west' of Beer and 
just north of Court Barn expose a very good section through the 
zone of Holaster planus and a large part of the Terebratulina zone. 
Hie dip being to the south-east, the highest beds come in at the 
south-east end, and the descending succession is as follows : — 
feet.
