Geology of Suffolk

The geology of Suffolk in eastern England largely consists of a rolling chalk plain overlain in the east by Neogene clays, sands and gravels and isolated areas of Palaeocene sands.[1][2] A variety of superficial deposits originating in the last couple of million years overlie this 'solid geology'.
