. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. 118 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM Silcrete Profile Tertiary Limestone. ON SEA Fig. 3. Aeolianite deposits of Eastern Cape Province. depth of — 55 m and the reefs of Plettenberg Bay are also aeolianite in origin. Such discordance of Pleistocene and modern shorelines is equally true of Australia. In Western Australia Rottnest Island off Perth is formed of aeolianite. Soil profiles developed on aeolianite and buried by later aeolianite deposition occur below mean sea-level at Sorrento in Victoria and the base of the youngest ridge in the Lower Southeast of South Australia lies at — 11 m on the seaward side (Fig. 4). A second feature is the close juxtaposition of aeolianite deposits and mid- Tertiary erosion bevels carrying relict deeply weathered soils (Fig. 1). The emergent beach ridge sequence of the Lower Southeast of South Australia commences immediately shorewards of the laterite capped Dundas Tablelands (Fig. 4). The West Australian limestones abut on to the laterite-capped Darling Ranges peneplain. In South Africa the George-Knysna ridges lie seawards of the laterite-capped Coastal Platform (Fig. 2) and the Kenton-on-Sea aeolianites have the Grahamstown silcrete profiles inland of them (Fig. 3)..
