The Cretaceous as a separate period was first defined by a Belgian geologist Jean d ' Omalius d ' Halloy in 1822, using strata in the Paris Basin and named for the extensive beds of chalk ( calcium carbonate deposited by the shells of marine invertebrates, principally coccoliths ), found in the upper Cretaceous of western Europe.

This appeared to be confirmed by the exploration of the deep sea beds conducted by the Challenger expedition, 1872-6, which showed that contrary to expectation, land debris brought down by rivers to the ocean is deposited comparatively close to the shore in what is now known as the continental shelf.

Silt and clay soils were deposited by marine floods in the salt-water areas and along the beds of tidal rivers, while organic soils, or peats, developed in the fresh-water marshes.

Nahcolite was deposited as beds during periods of high evaporation in the basin.

* The topset beds in turn overlay the foresets, and are horizontal layers of smaller sediment size that form as the main channel of the river shifts elsewhere and the larger particles of the bed load no longer are deposited.

The beds of the Chalk Group were deposited over the buried northwestern margin of the Anglo-Brabant Massif during the Upper Cretaceous.

The uppermost beds were deposited by a brief marine transgression.

Once the rivers reached the relatively flat valley, the water slowed, the rivers widened, and the sediment was deposited in the floodplains and river beds causing them to rise, shift to new channels, and overflow their banks, causing major flooding, especially during the spring melt.

When the miles-high ice sheets finally melted, these river beds were left as ridges created from all the rock and rubble that had been deposited by the flowing river.

Secondly, some of the beds have been cut out by faulting ; and thirdly, the area around Durdle Door seems unusually shallow, so thinner bands of sediments were deposited.

The sedimentary layers, which extend from the headwaters in Wyoming all the way to the mouth in North Dakota, vary in age, but most of the beds along the river belong to the Bullion Creek and Sentinel Butte formations, both deposited during the Paleocene ( about 65. 5 to 56 million years ago ).

Deposits most susceptible to liquefaction are young ( Holocene-age, deposited within the last 10, 000 years ) sands and silts of similar grain size ( well-sorted ), in beds at least metres thick, and saturated with water.
