New Discovery of Oligocene Strata in the Topernawi Formation, Turkana County, Kenya

Sousa, Francis J. ; Cox, Stephen E. ; Hemming, Sidney R. ; Rasbury, E. Troy ; Steponaitis, Elena ; Hatton, Kevin ; Saslaw, Mae ; Henkes, Gregory ; Princehouse, Patricia ; Vitek, Natasha S. ; et al ( February 2022 , Frontiers in Earth Science)

New field observations and 40 Ar/ 39 Ar geochronology reveal that the Topernawi Formation of the Ekitale Basin, northern Turkana Depression, Turkana County, Kenya was deposited entirely during the Oligocene between 29.7 ± 0.5 Ma and 29.24 ± 0.08 Ma. These bracketing ages are determined via new 40 Ar/ 39 Ar geochronology on a basaltic lava flow at the base of the section and a felsic ignimbrite near the top. A newly discovered basal unit and interbedded lava flow result in a new total sedimentary thickness of 92 m. The Topernawi Formation is the oldest dated syn-rift sedimentary section in the northern Turkana Depression.
