Holocene geology of central Africa

N° Outcrop: DOL4050. View of a river bank showing the recent incision of the Cover Horizon and underlying Stone Line along the river drainage. Because they are not transported during present-day flooding, the coarsest blocks remain on spot after erosion of the Cover Horizon. Note that those blocks are rounded attesting for strong lateral movements during the Stone Line 'event'. The photo is taken from a bridge ~ 30 m above the river.
