| Lithological Description: |
From about 9 km from Stedham, West Sussex [SU 86 22] to east of Selham, West Sussex [SU 94 20] the Fittleworth Member is divided by the Selham Ironshot Member. Samuel (1994) proposed the name 'Upper Fittleworth Beds' for the upper division (c. 2 m thick). This is re-named informally the 'upper Fittleworth Member', with the lower division (to c. 8 m) named the 'lower Fittleworth Member'. |
