Abstract
A cored borehole at Arlesey, Bedfordshire proved, in descending sequen ce, the Lower Chalk, Cambridge Greensand, Gault, and Lower Greensand. The macro- and microfaunas, together with lithology, are used to subdi vide the c. 57 m thick Gault succession. Comparison with the Upper Gau lt of the Duxford and Little Chishill boreholes indicates a possible t ectonic influence on sediment accumulation in the Arlesey area.
