Extension of mapped extent of Slindon Formation Part2

Through preliminary mapping the 40m (Goodwood-Slindon) raised beach has now been formally traced along a 26km stretch. The beach delimits the northern extent of the Sussex Coastal Plain between Arundel and Westbourne Common and along the central portion of its course is overlain by fine-grained sediments. At the limits of its extent the beach outcrops as a visible surface spread of rounded flint cobbles.
