The sequence shares a common *.gvs with the adjacent Ipswich-Sudbury area model.
Multiple layers of storm beach deposits were needed to cope with interdigitated sequences and Holocene evolution. The Anglian glacigenic sediments shown above in blue comprise the Lowestoft Formation and within them a single lens is identified (gsg1). Legend colours in many cases loosely correspond to the 50K published map sheets. The difficulty in separating the thin Thanet Sand Formation from the Reading Formation (Lambeth Group) has resulted in the use of the older Lower London Tertiaries term being used for this package of strata. The Harwich and London Clay Formations cannot be mapped out separately and are lumped together as the Thames Group.
The model abuts the Ipswich-Sudbury model to the north (Mathers, 2012[1]), shared docker sections ensure a common interpretation along the join at northing 30.
