“Upper Jurassic” sediments of South Africa [PDF]
Nature, 1976 MARINE sedimentary rocks exposed near Knysna in the Cape Province of South Africa were assigned to the Upper Jurassic on the basis of a fragment of an ammonoid and seven previously undescribed species of ostracod1. A more thorough examination of the microfossils in these rocks indicates that this assignment was erroneous and that the beds are of Early ...
