RE: Hiking Suikerboschfontein - Part 16 - Salt fossils indicative of Marine deposition

Ahhh. Wow! And the reason why it turned into a quartzite (metamorphosed sandstone) is because of the pressure applied by the weight of the Bushveld Igenous Complex - quite familiar of this on one of our subjects, and heat.

Exactly.... Closer to the intrusive layers and heat the sandstone has completely melted and re-crystallized and has grains the size of a thumbnail...
