Minor occurrences connecting the two main areasare at locality 14 (Kennedy & KHnger 1975: 283) near Umkwelane Hill, sub-surface deposits near Richards Bay at locality 6 (Kennedy & Klinger 1975: 282),and similar deposits at Durban at locality 5 (Kennedy & Klinger 1973; 1975:282). Current evidence seems to suggest that the deposits at False Bay, Zulu-land, represent a deeper water facies than the shallower water transgressivefacies of the Umzamba Formation.
