Southcote, Berkshire of chalk, with geological surveys also finding flint samples. A map produced by the Geological Survey of Great Britain in 1860 identifies the area as being predominantly Plastic Clay (now known as the Lambeth Group) and chalk north of the river, with flint and gravel samples typical of the Bagshot Formation south of the Kennet. More specifically, the 2000 survey showed different types of gravel, including Winter Hill (variably clayey and sandy), Lynch Hill (sand and gravel with lenses of silt, clay or peat), and head (a polymict deposit usually formed by periglacial solifluction or gelifluction). The survey also identified
Gravel Run (Black Creek) by acid mine drainage in the early 1900s. The acid mine drainage came from mines in and near the city of Hazleton. Gravel Run is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Hazleton. It drains a portion of the northwestern part of the city of Hazleton. It drains the older part of the city as well as the Green Ridge Territory. Gravel Run is one of eleven officially named streams in the watershed of Nescopeck Creek that has not been assessed by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. Gravel Run was entered into the Geographic Names Information System
