(Speeton Clay) - 1994

The Speeton Clay is part of the Aptian to Middle Albian from the Cretaceous. At Speeton the Speeton Clay formation is split into 4 beds, Bed A, B, C and D. Beds D Start from just past the Reighton Gap holiday camp past New Closes cliff, Beds C start from Black cliff up to Speeton Beck and Beds B and A start from Speeton Beck up to Red Cliff hole. The entire formation is usually slipped, so it is often very difficult to pinpoint any particular horizon without finding the relevant fossils.
