Trace fossils are common throughout the sequence and marine invertebrates
were recovered from the topmost cycle . The upward - fining cycles are
interpreted as being the products of a tidal - flat environment crossed by
meandering tidal ...

A similar detailed facies analysis is not available for the lower part of the
Witteberg Group in the Western Cape but Theron ( 1970 ) stated that the basal
Witteberg beds are part of a regressive cycle that follows directly on from similar
cycles in ...
