Summary

Description
English: After the Witwatersrand Sea had largely silted up, fast flowing rivers from the north descended on to a wide flat coastal plain, where the rivers formed extensive deltas consisting of braided, sluggish flowing rivers, which dropped their heavier loads (cobble stones, gold and uranium etc.) It is in the fossil remains of these braided rivers that the Witwatersrand gold is found.
