McKee, Jeffrey K2015-01-082015-01-081994http://hdl.handle.net/10539/16276The Buxton Limeworks, in the Taung district at the southeastern margin of the Kalahari Desert, harbours fossil deposits in the calcareous tufas spanning a time period from the late Pliocene to the present. Many such fossil sites, including the type site of Australopithecus africanus, have been exposed by quarrying and noted by various researchers since 1919. As many of the site locations have been lost in the past due to inadequate records and continued quarrying, an effort was made to relocate previously known sites and to discover new sites. There are now 17 preserved and recognized fossil sites in the Buxton Limeworks, the location and nature of which are documented here for future researchers.enTaungBuxtonPleistocenePlioceneaustralopithecusCatalogue of fossil sites at the Buxton Limeworks, TaungArticle
