- Description
- The Lower Jurassic Clarens Formation of the Great Karoo Basin is usually viewed in the literature as a aeolian and, in places, fluvio-aeolian deposit of tremendous thickness variation form 0-250 m thickness. Interaction with the overlying Karoo Flood Basalts, particularly in the Eastern Cape area and in Lesotho, has been noted but was never a major topic. Relatively widespread pyroclastic deposits sandwiched between the Clarens Formation and the Karoo Flood Basalts have been interpreted as flood-lahars.
