Excerpt from Memoirs of the Geological Survey of Great Britain the Geology Museum of Economic, 1939 The area for the most part forms a plateau, the highest points of which are on the western edge, at Great Tey and Tiptree Heath, 196 and 193 feet above the sea. From these the ground falls eastward with comparative regularity (except for the valleys) to 100 feet near Wicks, on the ne, and to 50 feet on the cliffs of Mersea and Clacton, on the south. The alluvial ¿ats of the estuaries of the Colne and of the Blackwater are below high-water mark. The geological interest of the district lies in the post-glacial Drift, which, though occupying only small areas, has not only yielded nearly all the fossils of the district, but is known to geologists from the sections of Copford and Clacton.
