Abstract

The hominid-bearing Plio–Pleistocene sequence of the west central Afar sedimentary basin in Hadar contains 120–140 m of fossiliferous lacustrine and lake margin sediments. The Hadar sequence is described and divided into four members. The mammalian fauna indicates an age of ∼ 3.0 Myr which is confirmed under the Hadar formation by K–Ar determinations on a basalt.
