Extract

It was noted by the Rev. C. Noury in 1886 that sedimentary rocks were found in a small coastal area to the south of Fort Pezerie, on the south-western extremity of Guernsey. Professor T. G. Bonney observed the same area independently in September, 1910, after describing it in field notes in 1888 as a closejointed and rather schistose diabase. The Rev. E. Hill in 1884 had also regarded the rock in this area as constituting a dyke-formed diabase.
