The capitalization, i.e. "Upper Chalk" is deliberate. Please don't change it.

As described in stratigraphy, the Chalk of the Britain has been divided into 3 Provinces, the 'Northern', the 'Southern', and the 'Transitional'. These geographical classifications replace the old age-based units of 'Upper', 'Middle' and 'Lower' - which are, however, still used informally.

Now with the creation of the Southern England Chalk Formation page this can be a much more technical article about how Chalk is formed -- Any Geologists :) as I don't feel qualified to do this --Davelane 16:49, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
