Auriladayii and Aglaiella railbridgensis are common ostracodes (Fig. 8, Table 2).Ichnofossils include crab-burrows (Fig. 19), and some 2-3 cm diameter verticalburrows, probably Ophiomorpha which is attributed to the marine decapodCallianassa.

According to Mr B. W. Flemming of the University of Cape Town () the erosional platform at Churchhaven is part of an extensive platformwhich he has traced for 100 m off Kraalbaai. At Kraalbaai there is a contactwith the marine limestone and overlying aeolianite at 2,5 m (Fig. 20)with bivalve remains at the contact. Ophiomorpha are common in the marinelimestones at this site. A very interesting trace-fossil that indicates that thetop of the marine limestone at Kraalbaai is partly non-erosional is the series of PLEISTOCENE HISTORY AND COASTAL MORPHOLOGY 105. Fig. 18. Calcite scalenohedra on inner surface of ostracode carapace demonstrates extensive diagenesis at Churchhaven.
