Darton, D.M.; Dingwall, R.G.; McCann, D.M.. 1981 Geological and geophysical investigations in Lyme Bay. London, UK, British Geological Survey, 33pp. (Report No. 79/10) (Unpublished)
As part of a general research programme
into geological mapping of coastal areas for
engineering purposes, a geological and geophysical
survey of the sea floor to the southeast
of the coast between Lyme Regis and
West Bay, Dorset, was carried out. The
survey covered 90 km2 and resulted in detailed
mapping of two eastward plunging anticlines
and their complementary synclines. The eastwest
and north-east-south-west trending faults,
which produce major structural changes, occur
within 1 mile of the coastline and demonstrate
the problems of extrapolating coastal stratigraphy
to any great distance offshore.
