Statement of Significance

The Mzamba Formation provides a condensed record of the period between about 86 and 80 million years ago (Klinger pers.comm.), when there was a beach and shallow sea environment in this area, with large trees, marine reptiles, extinct ammonites and large (up to 1 m) mussels, sea urchins, snails and other shell fossils.
