Significance:
Geological Formations:
Acritarchs (organic-walled microfossils) in all formations
Potential for stromatolites in carbonate rocks (Lime Bank, Kaan Fms) and vendobiontans in siliciclastic sediments (Kleinrivier, Van Staadens Fms)
highly deformed siliciclastic sediments, carbonates deposited in shallow marine, turbidite fan to alluvial settings
Late Ediacaran
Gamtoos Gp is correlated with Cango Caves Group of W. Cape.
NB Vendobiontans recently (2008) discovered in Cango Caves Group (Groenefontein Fm.) of W. Cape
