I should think possum gloves count. Your geological formation being linked with the Appalachian mountains sounds more exciting than the line of flint in the chalk cliffs locally which is known as Whitakers 3 inch band and stretches right down to the chalk cliffs at Dover, I learnt that at school and...

Little Egrets breed in a chalk pit nature reserve in the middle of a housing estate by Lakeside shopping centre, we have several in our garden during the day from a local fishery that will no doubt be breeding soon.
