The Kalahari Deposits is an
Early Cretaceous (
Aptian)[1] geologic
formation in
South Africa.
Dinosaur remains diagnostic to the
genus level are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.[2] The
depositional environment is described as a crater lake where poorly lithified, concretionary conglomerate and volcaniclastic, intraclastic, calcareous mudstone were deposited under quiet subaqueous conditions, probably a "crater-fill succession above an olivine-melilitie intrusion".[3]
