Abstract
New fossil discoveries from the Bosluis Pan sedimentary succession ind icate and early Middle Miocene age for the diamondiferous basal gravel s and grits, and a Pleistocene to Recent age for the red aeolian sands at the top of the sequence. Between these two 'dated' successions is a poorly fossiliferous aeolianite characterized by abundant traces of bioturbation.
