Lors de travaux d'approfondissement du Port à Bois d'Owendo, situé sur la rive N de l'estuaire du Gabon (0 17'N, 9 31'E), il a été découvert, sous 4 mètres de vase actuelle, un niveau fossilifère à Mollusques et Madréporaires, témoins de la
Doline Karst occurs in the upper catchments of the Tsondab, Gaub and Kuiseb rivers in the central Namib. The karst extends from the Escarpment foot westwards decreasing in density and altitude for 40 to 50 km. The existence of this well-developed
karst is anomalous. The aridity and episodic torrential showers are not conducive to infiltration with attendant karst development. The impurity of the Namib Limestone, the chief karst host is similarly inhibitive. The existence of the karst arouses

the Varswater Formation with its well-known vertebrate fossil assemblage and phosphorite sand. The formation is well developed at Elandsfontyn at elevations up to 89,4 m. The Pleistocene Bredasdorp Formation may be represented by three phases of dune-building
Stable isotope analyses and radiocarbon dating indicate that the vlei silt deposit at Homeb accumulated between 23 000 and 19 000 BP. The calcrete above the S bank of the Kuiseb river at Homeb developed between 33 000 and 28 000 BP, indicating more
