WKfsw3, Westerham [Folkestone Mbr, Lower Greensand]	Casey R. (1961)	Lower Greensand - Folkestone	Bed 3	ironstone	112.03 - 109 Ma Early/Lower Cretaceous
WKfsw7	Casey R. (1961)	Lower Greensand - Folkestone	PJW: Was given as Folkestone member, but it is now a formation. Folkestone overlies the Sandgate formation and underlies the Gault formation. It seems to span the Late Aptian to Early Albian; as this was reported as Albian, I changed it to Early Albian.	"shale"	112.03 - 109 Ma Early/Lower Cretaceous
