Bedrock
Interpreted seismic (boomer) profile in the NE corner of the survey area. The undulating seafloor surface is due to the extraction
of gravels by dredging.

Peat horizons
Interpreted seismic (boomer) profile in the SE corner of the survey area. This bedrock outcrop forms one side of the wide valley
landform and contains few internal reflectors. In the valley at the base of this outcrop are two bright, discontinuous reflectors
interpreted as being peat horizons.

Bedrock
Typical example of an interpreted seismic (boomer) profile across the main palaeochannel feature. There is an outcrop of coarse-
grained infill indicated by high amplitude, steeply dipping reflectors. The adjacent unit of fine-grained sediments onlaps on to the
coarser unit.

Location

SW NE
Bedrock
Interpreted seismic (boomer) profile across the main palaeochannel feature. The bedrock beneath the coarse-grained infill
(gravels) has been eroded to a lower level than elsewhere in the survey area, allowing a thicker deposit of gravels to accumulate.

Bedrock
Interpreted seismic (boomer) profile showing a coarse-grained deposit at the base of the palaeochannel. This unit is not seen
on all profiles and its stratigraphic relationship to the coarse-grained gravels on the south of the channel is unclear.
