(Rocken End) - 2006
The geology at Rocken end consists of Gault, Upper Greensand and Lower Chalk. The Upper Greensand can be seen in slippages with steep landward dips. Blocks of Upper Greensand can be found on the foreshore along with Glauconitic Marl. Within this bed, phosphatic nodules can contain fossils of Ammonites (Hypoturrilites, Schloenbachia and Idiohamites) along with bivalves, gastropods and brachiopods.
The Gault here is unfossiliferous and the Lower Chalk is not particularly well exposed, collecting at Rocken end is done mostly within the Upper Greensand.
