Description The formation comprises mainly coarse, arkosic
sandstones.
Extent The Pebbly Arkose Formation is found in
Botswana,
Zambia and
Zimbabwe, in the Mid-Zambezi, Mana Pools, Cabora Bassa and Limpopo basins.
Stratigraphy The Pebbly Arkose Formation is part of the
Upper Karoo Group, overlies the Escarpment formation (in the Mid-Zambezi and Limpopo basins) and the
Angwa Sandstone Formation (in the Mana Pools and Cabora Bassa Basins) and underlies the
Forest Sandstone Formation. The Pebbly Arkose has been correlated to the
Elliot Formation of the Great Karroo Basin, South Africa and the
Mpandi Formation of the Thuli Basin in Botswana and Zimbabwe.
