Significance
Very high

Diverse terrestrial and freshwater tetrapods of Tapinocephalus to Lystrosaurus Biozones (amphibians, true reptiles, synapsids – especially therapsids), palaeoniscoid fish, freshwater bivalves, trace fossils (including tetrapod trackways), sparse vascular plants (Glossopteris Flora, including petrified wood)

Additional Comments

Richest Permo-Triassic tetrapod fauna from Pangaea / Gondwana
Key evidence for evolution of mammalian characters among therapsids

Continental record of Late Permian Mass Extinction Events
Biozonation of Beaufort Group in some areas of E. Cape still requires resolution
