This was a temporary excavation to supply clay to Aldeburgh Brickworks. The sequence exposed was Chalky Boulder Clay (till), Chillesford Clay, Chillesford Crag, Scrobicularia Crag. The Chillesford Clay yielded moulds of squashed bivalves and few fossil fish vertebrae. The pit is on private land - this photo, looking east, was taken earlier this month from the public footpath. The pit was active in the 1980s - see photograph (looking west) in the Ipswich Geological Group section of the Gallery.

This sculpture, 'Resting Dove' has been dedicated to those who suffered during the Covid 19 pandemic. The sculptor, Antonia Hockton informs GeoSuffolk that it has been created in Ancaster Weatherbed Limestone. This was chosen for its enduring qualities as the final location of the sculpture is to be on Tower Street outside the Minster.

GeoSuffolk member Howard Mottram recently visited Easton Bavents and took this fine photograph. It shows Westleton Beds sands disturbed by cryoturbation at the top of the cliff. They rest on Easton Bavents Clay which forms a marker horizon along the northern part of these cliffs.
