Manganese Oxide Findings
Manganese Oxide may also be found at the Chapmans Pool site, but does not originate from the Jurassic coast. In amongst the Kimmeridge shale and rock pools, as well as on the shore line, it is still possible to find small bubbley looking lumps of Manganese Oxide which is often mistaken as being formed from the Kimmeridge shale. However, these are the remains of part of the cargo of the Steamship "Treveal" that was wrecked on the Kimmeridge Ledges below Hounstout on January 10, 1920.
