Margate
Margate is a town on the Isle of Thanet in Kent, England (Population about 57,000). It was known as Meregate (in 1254), later becoming Margate (from about 1293), and its name's meaning may be translated as "a pool gate or gap in a cliff where pools of water are found". The cliffs of the Isle of Thanet are composed of London Clay, a fossil-bearing rock.
