(Yaverland) - 2005

At Yaverland, the cliff starts with the Wessex Formation of the Wealden Group. Following on from this the Vectis Formation is exposed. Following on from this the Atherfield Clay Formation can be seen. This also contains the hard limestone layer, very similar to that which was covered up near Shepherds Chine and of which can be found in blocks exposed on the beach.

At the far end of the bay, the Ferruginous Sands can be seen in the distance marked by the orange/red coloured cliff, followed by Carstone, Gault and then the Upper Greensand. Finally the headland is marked by Chalk.
