Just for people that do not know. The sediments hold an incredible insect bed at Smokejacks Quarry and are from an Early Cretaceous environment. (Upper Weald Clay Formation – Barremian – 125 to 130 million years old) with studies showing that they were deposited in a lake/lagoon to a river mud plain environment.
