This unit comprises coarse-grained chalk with inoceramid bivalve shell fragments, although other fossils are less numerous than in the Lower Inoceramus Bed (Gaunt et al., 1992). The Upper Inoceramus Bed, less than a metre thick in the Hull-Brigg district (Gaunt et al., 1992), was also described in East Anglia.
