    A preliminary investigation of the mammalian microfauna in Pleistocene deposits of caves in the Transvaal system
    (Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1961-08-01) De Graaff, G.
    This investigation aims to extend our knowledge of the fossil mammalian microfauna found in the Australopithecus-bearing breccias of the Transvaal System at Taung, Sterkfontein and Makapansgat. The available data derived from other localities such as Kromdraai and Bolt's Farm have been incorporated. The origin of these fossils, the method of extraction from the breccias, and a brief review of the geological nature of the deposits under consideration are discussed.
