Beschreibung:
A.G. Bain (1797–1864) was probably the first to describe the deposits of the Permo-Carboniferous glaciation of South Africa in 1844, but still attributed their formation to a volcanic origin. It was not until P.C. Sutherland (1822–1908) in 1868 and 1870 that the series was recognised as a glacial formation. J. E. Dunn (1844–1937) named this deposit the Dwyka Series or Dwyka Conglomerate after the Dwyka River near Prince Albert in South Africa in 1886. This series contains scratched boulders and varved sediments, and the basement is characterised by rounded boulders and striated surfaces as evidence of glaciation.
