“…This change in depositional geometry is coincident with a dramatic change from a coarser clastics-dominated system to a claystone-dominated system. A similar relationship between geometry and sedimentology is also observed in the southern Orange Basin (Paton et al 2008). The abrupt switch in sediment grade is considered to reflect the emergence of the Orange River catchment area capturing, eroding and draining the Karoo Basin over much of southern Africa.…”

“…2), which is represented by a thick succession of Cretaceous and Tertiary age sediments that have a number of internal unconformities. These unconformities in the northern Orange basin in Southern Namibia, and the correlatable unconformities in the South African portion of the Orange Basin, have a variety of horizon names but are consistent in identifying the key basinwide events (Emery 1975;Gerrard and Smith 1982;Light et al 1993;Paton et al 2008). The early part of the post-rift stratigraphy consists of an AptianTuronian progradational succession that consists of deltaic and fluvio-marginal deposits that exceed 3500 m in thickness in the inner part of the margin.…”
