notes:

 Samples of Chalk - NOR16B, NOR40, EAS1, S3CH, BEV9, HUB9, EP2 and SFF4.

 AT7 - a clay from a raft in the Boulder Clay.

 M404 - This is from Bessingby; although I think the level is below Nafferton Quarry I cannot prove it; it could be above Nafferton or the equivalent of part of Nafferton (cf  Whitham 1994).

 HAR - There is no hard evidence to give an accurate level for this exposure at present, it is somewhere bertween level 145 and 165.

All samples from levels between 200 and 400 are from coastal  exposures and therefore may be contaminated with sea water.  Some samples are weathered - it can be very difficult to collect a fresh sample from a thin band from a disused quarry or a coastal exposure below the high tide line. Samples from Enthorpe (EN) and Selwicks Bay (SEL) are probably the worst.
