The Lower Greensand as a broad zone between the brick-patterned chalk (a type of limestone) and the interior large c-shape Weald Clay. Many towns shown are on the Lower Greensand.
The Lower Greensand Group is a geological unit present across large areas of Southern England. It was deposited during the Aptian and Albian stages of the Early Cretaceous. It predominantly consists of sandstone and unconsolidated sand that were deposited in shallow marine conditions.
