The Gault Formation is a geological formation of stiff blue clay deposited in a calm, fairly deep-water marine environment during the Lower Cretaceous Period (Upper and Middle Albian). It is well exposed in the coastal cliffs at in Folkestone, Kent, England, where it overlays the Lower Greensand formation, and underlies the Upper Greensand Formation. These represent different facies, with the sandier parts probably being deposited close to the shore and the clay in quieter water further from the source of sediment; both are believed to be shallow-water deposits.

  • L’argile du Gault (dite parfois « argile albienne ») est une formation d’argile raide de teinte gris-bleu à gris foncé, qui s'est déposée à profondeur moyenne dans des eaux marines calmes, au cours du Crétacé inférieur (Albien supérieur et moyen). Son nom fait référence à un lieu-dit près de Folkestone, en Angleterre. (fr)
