Abstract
Bones and teeth of large dinosaurs, and a single specimen of a non-marine lamellibranch, have been found in sandstones west and southwest of Gokwe, Rhodesia. These previously unknown sediments are named the Gokwe Formation, which has a maximum thickness of about 300 ft. It is divided into a lower calcareous member and an upper white sandstone member. The Gokwe Formation rests unconformably on the Karroo System and is unconformably overlain by Kalahari Beds. The sediments represent the filling of a comparatively small lake, and are thought to be either latest Jurassic or earliest Cretaceous in age. The extreme rarity of such deposits in southern Africa gives their discovery an added significance.
