FIGURE 7. Medial fan deposits also are similar for both the Skoorsteenberg and Ross outcrops and are comprised of extremely broad channels or what can be more correctly termed as sheets. Individual sheets are 3-7 m (10-23 ft) thick with narrow, amalgamated axes and more sheetlike, layered margins. Although the sandstone bed sets are highly continuous, they consist of individual lenticular and compensatory sandstones (location A: West Kilcholer Cliffs; location B: Loophead; location C: Grootfontein) (modified from Sullivan et al., 2000b).
