Comparison of microbially induced sedimentary structures in the Palaeoproterozoic Magaliesberg (Transvaal Supergroup) and Makgabeng (Waterberg Group) Formations, Kaapvaal craton, South Africa

The MRS/MISS of the Makgabeng Formation encompasses sand cracks, wrinkle marks, mat fragments, mat chips and roll-ups and those of the Magaliesberg formation are wrinkle marks, petees/petee ridges, sand cracks, and multi-directional ripples. The sedimentary process that moderated the formational mec...
