Chalk platform Flat-lying chalk strata have eroded into a smooth, white platform which is unlike any which I have encountered before. At lower levels on the beach, algae have attached, as can be seen in the background and on the cliffs, but this part of the shore appears to be scoured by powerful waves carrying shingle.

Cliffs by Molk Hole Chalk cliffs and beach platform. Young, soft rocks such as these are not my normal subject, and it was very interesting to examine these chalk outcrops. In fact, diagenetic variation means that the rock is actually harder here than in other places with this archetypal English rock. Cliffs here comprise the Flamborough Chalk Formation, which is notably free of flint. The underlying Burnham Chalk Formation, which is found on the wave-cut platform at the south of the bay, is locally rich in flints.
