Rossouw PO Box 28806 Langenhovenpark 9330 E-mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTION A desktop palaeontological impact assessment was conducted for a proposed dam wall near Napier. The assessment was carried out in accordance with National Heritage Resources Act 25 of 1999 with the aim to assess impact on potential palaeontological heritage resources. DESCRIPTION OF THE AFFECTED AREA 1::50 000 topographical map of the area: 3419 DB-DO Elim Site Coordinates: S34 30' 31.34" E19 53' 35.53" The site is located in rugged terrain on the Klipdrift River in the Vlermuiskelderkloof about 3.5 km south of Napier (Fig. 1). The area is made up of low mountains and undulating hills covered by moderately tall, dense restoid, ericoid and proteoid shrubland. PALAEONTOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE The palaeontological footprint in the region is mainly associated with: I;J Cenozoic deposits along the coast or inland surficial deposits found along large intermontane valleys and the main courses of the Riviersonderend and Breede Rivers (generally recorded as specific palaeontological localities). I;J Exposures of Table Mountain Group sandstones and overlying Bokkeveld Group shales (Cape Supergroup). Since known fossiliferous geological horizons are used as indicators of fossil distribution in capped sediments, the potential fossil heritage mentioned in this report is related to specific sedimentary units, and not specific palaeontological sites. CENOZOIC SEDIMENTS Old superficial deposits in the region are primarily assigned to the calcareous sediments of the Bredasdorp Group. These sediments are closely linked to past marine transgressions and regressions and are known to be fossiliferous (Table 1). Fossil localities are generally confined to the coastal region where caves, unconsolidated or wind-blown sands, fixed dunes and semi­ consolidated aeolian sands with calcrete lenses, occasionally yield mammal vertebrate fossils, marine or terrestrial molluscs and other remains (sometimes along with cultural remains in Pleistocene and Holocene deposits). The onset of colder environmental conditions during previous glacial episodes in the Pleistocene is considered to have resulted in the creation of a unique habitat for a number of ungulate fauna along the southwestern Cape coastline. Eustatic sea level lowering during the Last Glacial in the Late Pleistocene would have exposed up to 22500 square kilometers of the Aghulas Bank, forming large areas of relatively fertile, low­ lying land and so forming a unique coastal plain environment. This had a dramatic effect on the distribution and density of the Cape coastal fauna. Compared to the coastal fynbos and evergreen forest mosaic of the present, faunal evidence from several fossil localities along the southwestern Cape coast suggest that conditions during the Last Glacial Maximum provided a habitat for grazing mammals that preferred grassland and open country vegetation. There is currently no record of Cenozoic palaeontological exposures or localities within the vicinity of the dam wall, where surficial sediments along the Klipdrift River consist of minimally developed, acidic lithosols, derived from Table Mountain Group sandstones. CAPE SUPERGROUP SEDIMENTS The geology immediately north and south of Napier comprises dark-grey fossiliferous shales and mudstones of the early Devonian Gydo Formation (Bokkeveld Group). This is successively replaced in the study area by older marine sediments of the Nardouw Subgroup (Table Mountain Group). The strata are assigned to fluvial, braid-plain and shallow marine Silurian sandstones and thinly layered siltstones characterized by sparse trace assemblages and shelly fossils (brachiopods) (Table 1) . CONCLUDING REMARKS AND RECOMMENDATIONS • Late Cenozoic surficial deposits along the Klipdrift River are derived from Table Mountain Group sandstones and consist largely of acidic 3 soils . The soils are weakly developed and not conducive to the preservation of bone, shell or other kinds of organic material. Accumulation and preservation of intact fossil material within unconsolidated, superficial sediments are highly unlikely. • The underlying geology is made up of late Silurian I early Devonian sandstones of the Nardouw Subgroup (Table Mountain Group). The strata contain trace assemblages and occasional shelly fossils , are considered to be of medium to low palaeontological significance, and may be affected by excavations into bedrock. In case of the latter, the developer must inform Heritage Western Cape accordingly. REFERENCES Anderson , M.E. , et a/. 1999.

  • The Ecology of Large Herbivores Native to the Coastal Lowlands of the Fynbos Biome in the Western Cape, South Africa
    The ecology of large herbivores native to the coastal lowlands of the Fynbos Biome in the Western Cape, South Africa by Frans Gustav Theodor Radloff Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Science (Botany) at Stellenbosh University Promoter: Prof. L. Mucina Co-Promoter: Prof. W. J. Bond December 2008 DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 24 November 2008 Copyright © 2008 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii ABSTRACT The south-western Cape is a unique region of southern Africa with regards to generally low soil nutrient status, winter rainfall and unusually species-rich temperate vegetation. This region supported a diverse large herbivore (> 20 kg) assemblage at the time of permanent European settlement (1652). The lowlands to the west and east of the Kogelberg supported populations of African elephant, black rhino, hippopotamus, eland, Cape mountain and plain zebra, ostrich, red hartebeest, and grey rhebuck. The eastern lowlands also supported three additional ruminant grazer species - the African buffalo, bontebok, and blue antelope. The fate of these herbivores changed rapidly after European settlement. Today the few remaining species are restricted to a few reserves scattered across the lowlands. This is, however, changing with a rapid growth in the wildlife industry that is accompanied by the reintroduction of wild animals into endangered and fragmented lowland areas.

An application to develop 1850 housing units on the 110 ha property was first made in 2006. An Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) of the proposed development was undertaken by ACRM at the time, in which 13 archaeological sites, including scatters of marine shellfish, ostrich eggshell, stone flakes and pottery were documented. The footprint area for the proposed development has now been substantially reduced to 36.6 ha, while the number of housing opportunities has been scaled down to 472 units. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the proposed development was completed in 2010, with the submission of outstanding information on the final Environmental Impact Report submitted to the Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning (DEADP) in March 2012. Authorization for a reduced development footprint was subsequently approved by DEADP in July 2012.
