Geology of Lincolnshire

The geology of Lincolnshire in eastern England largely consists of an easterly dipping succession of Mesozoic age sedimentary rocks, obscured across large parts of the county by unconsolidated deposits dating from the last few hundred thousand years of the present Quaternary Period.

This article describes the geology of the ceremonial county of Lincolnshire. Besides the modern administrative county, it includes the unitary authority areas of North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire.
