It's quite interesting flying along the coast there. Most of the cliffs are average at best, then one hits a patch where they are very good!

jean marc Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) really beautiful composition with a great plane and sea and amazing cliffs thanks Paul Nice to remember so much time ago slow deposits and millions of years to wait ... "Around 70 million years ago, Great Britain and much of Europe was submerged by the ocean. The bottom of the sea had been covered with white mud which formed from fragments of coccoliths, the skeletons of algae which floated in the surface waters and which sank to the bottom during the period of Cretaceous. In this era, the bottom living creatures got preserved as fossils in the muddy sediments. These sediments had been formed very slowly with only about a half of a millimeter adding up in an year which is equivalent to about 180 coccoliths piled on top of one another. Some areas had over 500 meters of sediment and the weight of these overlying sediments became consolidated into chalk." ... https://www.cliffsofdover.com/the-geology-of-the-cliffs-of-dover/ Edited October 18, 2022 by jean marc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
