Significance
Very high
Fish (sharks, acanthodians, placoderms, bony fish, recorded especially from Da), bivalves, vascular plants (psilophytes, lycopods), common but low diversity traces, including Spirophyton, and rare brachiopods
Additional Comments
Sparse fossils in these units in E. Cape poorly recorded compared with W. Cape.
Tectonic deformation limits fossil collection, especially within mudrock-rich horizons, and distorts fossils.Biostratigraphically and palaeoecologically important fossil assemblages from high palaeoaltitudes (Klipbokkop and Adolphspoort Fms)
