The Weld River Group lies above, starting with 0.5 km thickness of conglomerate and sandstone, then up to 3 km of dolostone, interbedded with sandstone, mudstone and diamictite.

The Sturtian glaciogenic succession ( c . 740 unconformably overlies rocks of the Burra Group . " The Sturtian succession includes two major diamictite-mudstone sequences, which represent glacial advance and retreat cycles.

The term diamictite is often applied to nonsorted or poorly sorted, lithified glacial deposits such as glacial tillite, and diamictites are often mistakenly interpreted as having an essentially glacial origin ( see Snowball Earth ).

The lower boundary GSSP of the Ediacaran is at the base of the cap carbonate ( Nuccaleena Formation ), immediately above the Elatina diamictite in the Enorama Creek section, Brachina Gorge, Flinders Ranges, South Australia.

Because of the appearance of glacial diamictite and index plant fossils found in the Lower and Upper Gondwanas respectively, it has been proposed that the Lesser Himalaya had been a part of Gondwanaland during the Permian to Cretaceous.

Lessing, Dean, and Kulander ( 1992 ) mapped the Meadow Branch synclinorium in Berkeley County, West Virginia, and noted that the Rockwell is approximately 200 meters thick here and that a 2-meter thick diamictite is present near the base.
17.
In the Ellisras Basin, the Dwyka Group ( late Carboniferous to Permian ) at the base of the Karoo System is represented by the Waterkloof Formation, diamictite and other rocks of colluvial and glaciofluvial origin, associated with meltwater or floating ice from the Karoo glaciation that produced the Dwyka Group tillite in the main Karoo Basin.

"' Diamictite "'(; from Ancient Greek " ??? " ( dia-) : " through " and " ��????? " ( meikt�s ) : " mixed " ) is a type of lithified sedimentary rock that consists of nonsorted to poorly sorted terrigenous sediment containing particles that range in size from clay to boulders, suspended in a terrigenous gravel suspended in either a mud or sand matrix.
