Abstract/NotesIt has long been known that certain deposits of Lower Cretaceous age lay between the Gault and the Purbeck group in the Vale of Wardour, but the absence of any good open sections, along the tracts where they reach the surface, has hitherto prevented geologists from ascertaining the exact nature and succession of the beds.Dr. Fitton, whose account of the Vale of Wardour is wonderfully good and accurate, distinctly recognized the existence both of Wealden and Vectian (Lower Greensand), stating that certain sands, containing traces of marine shells, occurred beneath the Gault and above the clays which he regarded as Wealden.
