Flotsam on the beach
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Flotsam on the beach Remains of a battered old creel, half buried in the wet sand. The white flecks are not foam but outcrops of chalk, characteristic for this section of coastline.
The chalk, here far less pronounced than further to the east, can only be seen at low water. It is composed of calcium carbonate from the remains of microscopic marine organisms that once lived in a warm shallow sea which covered this area between 62 and 132 million years ago. http://www.chesterfieldlodge.fsnet.co.uk/Geology/west%20runton-east%20runton.htm http://www.museums.norfolk.gov.uk/default.asp?document=400.500.100.025 |
