(North Yorks in one boulder) - 2002 - [Neil L]
The Dorset Junction Bed contains all of the North Yorkshire Geology in one Boulder. At Eype mouth, the Eype Clay forms the base of the cliff with the Eype Nodule Bed running along from Thorncombe Beacon. Above this the Down Cliff Sands with the Starfish Bed lying between the two. Above this, the Thorncombe sands with the Junction Bed resting on its top. At West Cliff, West of Eype Mouth, a major fault (the Fault Corner) marks the change in formation, here Frome Clay and Forest Marble are present with the Thorncombe formation missing.
