Excerpt from The Cretaceous Rocks of Britain, Vol. 1: The Gault and Upper Greensand of England
Beyond the limits of English land the Chalk extends eastward beneath the floor of the North Sea, and is doubtless continuous with that of Belgium and Holland. It also extends south eastward beneath the English Channel into the north of France, where it underlies the whole of the Paris basin.
