Chalk Group macrofossils from the Newbury and Marlborough districts

Chalk Group macrofossils collected during field work in March 2003 demonstrate the occurrence of lower Seaford Chalk Formation in old pits at [SU 2360 6930] and [SU 2274 6927], and this horizon can also probably be inferred from a field brash fauna collected by A R Farrant at [SU 2452 7021]. The middle Seaford Chalk is suggested by the sparse macrofauna collected from a pit at [SU 3104 7008]. The lower Newhaven Chalk Formation was proved in a temporary excavation at [SU 3868 6687] and an old chalk pit at [SU 3439 6449], and the higher part of this formation occurs in an old pit at [SU 3536 6405] and possibly also at [SU 3552 6404].
