Fuller's earth (bentonite) in the Lower Cretaceous (Upper Aptian) of Shanklin (Isle of Wight, southern England)
- Abstract:

A 35 cm fuller's earth (bentonite) bed is recorded from the Upper Aptian (Lower Cretaceous) Ferruginous Sands Formation (Lower Greensand Group), southwest of Shanklin, Isle of Wight.
