The Auborus Formation of the Bethanie district, South West Africa
A study of the southerly occurrence of Auborus sediments revealed a basal conglomerate varying in thickness from 100 ft. to 3300 ft. and lying unconformably on an undulating base of lavas and sediments of the Sinclair Formation. This is overlain by variable thicknesses of sandstone which contain a …
