Both samples are rather gypsiferous, though this would seem to be a secondary feature derived from the overlying Holocene estuary. Present-day environments in the estuary are markedly hypersaline, and some areas are utilized for salt production. However, the foraminifera of the latest Pleistocene Unit III reveal a much more normal marine environment. Cibicides lobatulus (Walker & Jacob) occurs in fairly small number

Present-day environments in the estuary are markedly hypersaline, and some areas are utilized for salt production. However, the foraminifera of the latest Pleistocene Unit III reveal a much more normal marine environment. Cibicides lobatulus (Walker & Jacob) occurs in fairly small numbers—as at Cape Town but unlike Llandudno- and is suggestive of a sandy beach environment rather than a rocky shore. Ammonia japonica (Hada) in such numbers clearly illustrates a good connection to the open sea, whereas the lack of Ammonia parkinsoniana (d'Orbigny) perhaps implies little fresh water entering the Berg estuary during the latest Eemian-earliest Weichselian. Very rare fragments of mollusc shell retain their.
