Flint occurs as nodules or in bands within the Chalk, and can be seen primarily in the counties of Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire, Sussex, Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, Suffolk and Norfolk. Its origin is generally accepted as being the siliceous sponges once inhabiting the waters of Cretaceous seas. Flints which have been washed out of the chalk cliffs can also be found as rounded cobbles and pebbles and have been used extensively for building and paving.
