(Wroxham Crag, and Upper Chalk section) - 2000
The uppermost beds at Weybourne are Glacial, this is followed by the Wroxham Crag formation from the Pastonian and Pre-Pastonian Stage which its thickly bedded shell deposits and iron-pan rest upon the upper chalk. The Wroxham Crag was formally known as the 'Weybourne Crag'. It contains quartzite and is very similar to the Norwich crag except with a slight increase in a steady fall in temperature. A bed of clay, sand and pebbles was laid down just after the Chillesford Beds and deposited creating the Wroxham Crag.

(Chalk faces at Weybourne) - 2000
The upper chalk tends to be of limited zones. The chalk contains a lot of flint. The chalk is of the Campanian stage, marked by the zones of Echinocorys Scutata.
