The southern English Wealden (non-marine Lower Cretaceous): overview of palaeoenvironments and palaeoecology

Geological Conservation Review sites representing the non-marine Lower Cretaceous Wealden strata provide field evidence for the physical and biological development of what is now southern England, between approximately 120 and 135 million years ago. Knowledge of Wealden climates, palaeogeology, landscapes, hydrology and palaeobiology is synthesized and summarised, with reference to the Weald and Wessex sub-basins.
