Scientific paper

Results of a search for possible correlatives of the Hamersley spherule layers in the Transvaal Supergroup are presented. A single spherule-bearing horizon in the nothern part of the Griqualand West basin, which occupies the southwestern edge of the Kaapvaal craton, was located. Photomicrographs in plane-polarized light of similar spherules from the Lokamonna and Wittennom Formations of Hamersley and Transvaal are shown.
