Bokkeveld Group

The Bokkeveld Group is the second of the three main subdivisions of the Cape Supergroup in South Africa.

[4] Bokkeveld Group outcrops and exposures range from the Breede River Valley in the west to Port Alfred near Grahamstown in the east.

The group displays lateral continuity throughout the length of the Cape Fold Belt.

Crinoids are also found, although their dis-articulated ossicles are more common, as are trace fossils such as worm burrows and feeding trails left by other invertebrates.

Rarer are fossils of trilobites, bivalves, cephalopods, gastropods, ophiuroids, hyoliths, echinoids, echinoderms, conulariids, cricoconarids, and corals.
