Flint in Chalk Matrix- White Cliffs of Dover, Kent, England

Flint in Chalk Matrix
White Cliffs of Dover, Kent, England
Dimensions: 4.6 x 3.4 x 2.8 cm
Ex Ray Berry Collection (1928-2017)

A classic specimen of black flint preserved within its original white chalk matrix from the famous White Cliffs of Dover. The striking contrast between the dark silica-rich flint and the surrounding chalk beautifully illustrates the geological processes that formed these iconic coastal deposits. Natural weathering has exposed a portion of the flint core while preserving much of the original chalk cortex, creating an attractive and highly recognizable display specimen from one of England's most celebrated geological localities.
