Geology of Thursley

With thanks to Sean Edwards


Hydon's Ball section and simplified list of strata:

5 Sandstone

6 Large Paludina

7 Sandstone

h1e Weald Clay

h2a Atherfield Clay

h2b Hythe Beds

h2c Sandgate Beds



These 3D models were made by Sean Edwards in the 1960's and built on a 2' x 1' plywood base, with polystyrene contour layers cut with a craft knife, the steps filled with plaster of Paris, smoothed by hand and painted with acrylic paint.



Unfortunately only black and white photographs now exist and the models, borrowed by the 'Fight the Red Route' A3 group, have never re-appeard. The circular pin-head on the Puttenham (Sandgate) beds marks the position of the Three Horseshoes.
