KEY

NOMINAL SURFACE GEOLOGY

 Source : British Geological Survey 1:50,000 scale.

REF ( Summary Notes from GPS-based observations )



Yellow-Green ( e.g. as at left of map ) ... Loamy Beds / ( as Sandgate )

Fine and poorly graded sand

(tends to be at alt ~ 80 to 95 m )



Lilac

layer of Bargate Stone (tends to be at alt ~ 60 to 80 m )



Blue-Grey as at Eashing in valley Hythe Beds

( Sand underlying Bargate stone as exposed by the erosive processes of the River Wey )

Very heavily compacted so as to present a ‘hardened’ surface in some places.

Fine-grained Glauconitic ( i.e. appears as grey-green .. but weathers to lighter colour )

Exposed as very steep slopes ...



Buff = Alluvium . .Floodplain deposits ( River deposits as Quaternary deposits )

... masking the underlying Solid Geology.

(tends to be at alt ~ 44 to 41 m .... river flow is to right [ i.e. East ] on diagram )
