Brickearth and Clay-with-flints from Kent
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Abstract
Particle-size analyses of brickearth and Clay-with-flints from Kent, England, are presented. A calcareous sample of brickearth is comparable to loess. In the clay fraction, there is more illite (or glauconite) than kaolin; and there is some chlorite. The clay fraction of the Clay-with-flints consists of smectite, illite and quartz and is probably derived directly from the Chalk. Black sand-grade nodules are manganiferous.
