Particular attention is given to problems relating to the base of the Coniacian and Santonian Stages. A critical assessment is made of criteria used by French workers for recognising the base of the Senonian Stage in the Anglo-Paris Basin. Benthonic Foraminifera used to identify the base of the Senonian are shown to have discrepant ranges in Kent compared with Sussex and Senonian stratotype. The nannofossil Marthasterites furcatus first appears below the level of acme-occurrence of ammonites of the Late Turonian Subprionocyclus neptuni Zone in southern England, and cannot therefore be used as a marker to identify the base of the Coniacian in the Anglo-Paris Basin. Extended comment is made o...

This paper reports on the fascinating investigation into the riverbed of Woolwich Reach, involving integration of a wide range of data from historical, geophysical and borehole sources. It illustrates how combining detailed desk studies and focused borehole investigations with over-water seismic, sonar and magnetic gradiometer surveys can assist civil engineers in the design of major structures within historic urban and tidal river environments.

The fault zone is comprised of carbonate-altered, rodingitized, and albitized metabasite-rich sedimentary breccias, with serpentinized mantle peridotites. The brittle infrastructure of the detachment consists of a mesh of mineralised
