Weald Clay, Geological formation in South East England.
The Weald Clay Formation contains extensive deposits of mudstone, shale, and siltstone between the North Downs and South Downs regions.
The formation dates back to the Lower Cretaceous period, approximately 136 to 125 million years ago, during the Hauterivian to Barremian stages.
Local industries have used the clay deposits for brick manufacturing, establishing a connection between geology and regional construction methods.
Researchers and geologists can access the formation through designated sites, with guided tours available for educational and scientific purposes.
The clay changes color naturally, appearing blue-grey when fresh and transforming to yellow-orange tones after exposure to weather conditions.
