Summary

A flora found in a clay lens in the Corton Beds at Lowestoft indicates a late- or full-glacial type of environment during an interval in the deposition of the Corton Beds. The interval may be related to drainage changes associated with the retreat of the North Sea Drift ice and advance of the Lowestoft Till ice.
