Abstract
The submerged forest or peat bed on the Durham coast situated between Hartlepool and West Hartlepool and extending along the shore southwards towards Seaton Carew and northwards beneath the sand dunes has been known for many years. The main portion of it occupies a depression between two outcrops of Magnesian Limestone, the easterly one forming the isolated mass of rock on which the old town of Hartlepool is built and the westerly one being the edge of the main outcrop of the same rock on which West Hartlepool stands. To the south the Triassic red sandstone which is faulted down beneath a covering of boulder clay appears on the shore at Longscar Rock and Seaton Carew.Keywords
