FITTON S SECTION AT ATHERFIELD.

of the mural precipices further on to the east, from which great flakes
or irregular masses are suddenly separated, covering the shore with
ruins, to be carried off with great rapidity by the waves.
Fossils of the Atherfield Clay.
Panopaea plicata, Sow.

specimens, but the form is the same
as in the figure of d'Orbigny,. — M.

\\\.—The Crackers. —No. 4 to 10.
This group, which forms a slight prominence on the shore, is sus-
tained by the solid nodules of the sand No. 5, to which the name of
" Crackers" has been applied, from the resounding of the waves in
the cavities below. It is perhaps the most remarkable portion of the
whole section, from the great variety of its fossils. It consists of four
beds of clay alternating with others more sandy, the total thickness
about 90 feet ; exhibiting an alternation of slopes (or undercliffs) with
nearly vertical faces, in fact a step (or txdi^) fo7"matio7i upon a
small scale.

thrust outwards, cracked or broken throughout, and their fragments pushed up
into heaps more than six feet above the general level. The space on the confines
of the Wealden and the lower greensand which I had seen in 1843, and described
as beautifully disclosing their junction, was thus entirely concealed ; while the
base of the cliff eastward was uncovered, and the relations of the '* Crackers"

group much more clearly visible than before. — August 1844.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
