Figure 3. The N–S seismic profile Rz-256 traversing through the study area: A – folded and transferred, B – interpretation of figure A. Red line = interface of overlying sediments/basement; dashed line represents indefinite extent of contact. The black lines are normal faults with small graben structures. B – Ventersdorp basinal reflectors are truncated by a black reef quartzite (blue arrows). C – overlap (red arrows) and downward slope (green arrows) of reflectors within the Timball hill and Boshook Formations [Tinker et al., 2002]. Lithologic signatures are represented by: 1 – Quaternary sediments (Q), 2 – $P_m$, quartzite ($R_3$), 3 – Psds, sandstones and subordinate shales ($R_3$), 4 – $P_h$, shales ($R_2$), 5 – $P_t$, lava flows, carbonaceous shales, quartzites and diamictites ($R_1$), 6 – $C_m$, manganese – bearing dolomites (Ar$_2^m$), 7 – black reef quartzite (Ar$_1$), 8 – Ventersdorp lava (Ar$_1$) [Tinker et al., 2002].
