Abstract

A series of phosphate nodule horizons occur at the junction of the Lower Greensand (Folkestone Beds), and the Gault at Folkestone in Kent, each layer representing a hiatus in sedimentation. The most complex of these is the Sulphur Band, which has been subjected to a detailed petrographic and geochemical analysis in order to gain insights into methods of formation, as well as compare this phosphate deposit to those above and below. Some method of quantifying the relative time period represented by each phosphate nodule horizon is attempted, and a comparison with the Hythe Beds-Sandgate Beds junction is made.
