Also known as Afrikanderskloof

Where: Eastern Cape, South Africa (31.9° S, 24.6° E: paleocoordinates 63.0° S, 27.8° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Daptocephalus or Dicynodon Assemblage Zone zone, Balfour Formation (Beaufort Group), Wuchiapingian to Wuchiapingian (259.9 - 252.2 Ma)

• It is said that the fossils come from the "Daptocephalus zone" (Gow, 1972) which is equivalent to the Dicynodon Assemblage Zone.

•Geographic and stratigraphic data suggest that the locality is in the Balfour Formation of the Beaufort Group (see Catuneanu et al., 2005, J. Afr. Earth Sci., 43, figs. 24, 25). The Dicynodon AZ is Early and Middle Changhsingian according to Catuneanu et al. (2005).
