A large-scale, cross-stratified, gravel-dominated facies (A) dips predominantly offshore and is interpreted as a beach-face deposit. This facies passes seawards into a {\textquoteright}transitional{\textquoteright} zone characterized by a horizontally stratified sand facies (B). This is incised into, and replaced seawards, by a third facies (C) deposited in channel-forms. Nearshore these channels are gravel-filled; further offshore they are regularly spaced, up to 2 m deep, their bases commonly being rimmed by gravel which fines upwards into sand. Several such fining-upward pulses are present in the infill of some of the larger channel-forms. It is suggested that these channels were cut and infilled by sporadic high-energy seaward-directed rip-currents.}, author = {Mathers, S.J. and Zalasiewicz, J.A.} } @article {1164, title = {Early and Early Middle Pleistocene Correlations in the Southern North Sea Basin}, journal = {Quaternary Science Reviews}, volume = {10}, year = {1991}, chapter = {23}, abstract = {On April 8, 1988 a discussion meeting took place at Norwich with the aim of establishing correlations of the Early and Middle Pleistocene stages across the southern North Sea. On the basis of faunal, floral, and palaeoclimatic data the following correlations were considered highly probable. The Pastonian Stage of East Anglia is correlated with the Late Tiglian (TC5) Stage of the Netherlands, and the Bramertonian with the Middle Tiglian (TC1-4b). The possiblility that the British Antian and Bramertonian Stages may represent parts of a single climatic event is mentioned. The Ludhamian is probably of Early Tiglian age and the Pre-Ludhamian may equate in part with the Praetiglian Stage. Possible correlation of the Waltonian with part of the Pliocene Reuverian Stage is also suggested. In the later Middle Pleistocene, the Anglian Stage correlates with the continental Elsterian. The precise correlation of the British type Cromerian Stage with part of the {\textquoteright}Cromerian Complex{\textquoteright} Stage in the Netherlands remains uncertain.}, author = {Gibbard, P.L. and West, R.G. and Zagwijn, W.H. and Balson, P.S. and Burger, A.W. and Funnell, B.M. and Jeffery, D.H. and de Jong, J. and van Kolfschoten, T. and Lister, A.M. and Meijer, T. and Norton, P.E.P. and Preece, R.C. and Rose, J. and Stuart, A.J. and Whiteman, C.A. and Zalasiewicz, J.A.} } @article {1161, title = {Stratigraphy and Palaeoenvironments of the Red Crag and Norwich Crag Formations Between Aldeburgh and Sizewell, Suffolk, England}, journal = {Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B}, volume = {322}, year = {1988}, chapter = {221}, author = {Zalasiewicz, J.A. and Mathers, S.J. and Hughes, M.J. and Gibbard, P.L. and Peglar, S.M. and Harland, R. and Nicholson, R.A. and Boulton, G.S. and Cambridge, P. and Wealthall, G.P.} } @article {1160, title = {Lithostratigraphy of the Red and Norwich Crags of the Aldeburgh-Orford Area, south-east SUffolk}, journal = {Geological Magazine}, volume = {122}, year = {1985}, chapter = {287}, abstract = {Recent investigations indicate that three distinct lithostratigraphical units can be recognised in the Red and Norwich Crag deposits of the area around Aldeburgh and Orford, Suffolk. These effectively represent a refinement of a stratigraphy originally suggested by Prestwich in 1871. A lowermost coarse-grained shelly sand, the Red Crag Formation, rests on an eroded London Clay surface and is banked against the Pliocene Coralline Crag. The Red Crag Formation passes upwards into a fine-grained generally unfossiliferous well-sorted sand, the Chillesford Sand Member, which overlaps the Red Crag Formation to rest directly on the Coralline Crag. The Chillesford Clay Member is regarded as the lateral equivalent of the upper Chillesford Sand Member, the two members together comprising the Norwich Crag Formation in this area. Sections that have been zoned palaeontologically may be integrated into this lithostratigraphical framework. These indicate that the Red Crag Formation correlates with the Pre-Ludhamian Stage, and the Chillesford Sand Member and the Chillesford Clay Member correlate with the Bramertonian Stage. Type sections are established for the three units described.}, author = {Zalasiewicz, J.A. and Mathers, S.J.} }
