The upper chalk at Seaton is particularly interesting for the Holaster planus Zone, the chalk extends to Beer Head where it is the most western crop of Upper Chalk.


(Seaton Upper Greensand) - 2002

Seaton is ideal for collecting from the Upper Greensand as the entire series can be seen, the foreshore is full of various greensand rocks and some from the Cherty Beds.

At Seaton, the red cliffs just before the chalk are part of the Triassic and are the 'New Red Rocks'. The New Red Rocks are part of the 'New Red Sandstone Series'. These are unfossiliferious.
