Chalk Group Lithostratigraphy: Northern England - Eppleworth Flint

This is a large (c. 0.3 m thick), very irregular, semitabular flint, associated with the inoceramid bivalve Volviceramus, and perhaps equating with the Seven Sisters Flint of Sussex and the East Cliff Semitabular Flint of the North Downs (Gaunt et al., 1992). However, there is some palaeontological evidence to suggest that the overlying De La Pole Flint is actually the correlative of the Seven Sisters/East Cliff SemitabularFlint (Gaunt et al., 1992).
