  • The Elliot Formation is a geological formation and forms part of the Stormberg Group, the uppermost geological group that comprises the greater Karoo Supergroup. Outcrops of the Elliot Formation have been found in the northern Eastern Cape, southern Free State, and in the eastern KwaZulu-Natal provinces of South Africa. Outcrops and exposures are also found in several localities in Lesotho such as Qacha's Neck, Hill Top, Quthing, and near the capital, Maseru. The Elliot Formation is further divided into the lower (LEF) and upper (UEF) Elliot formations to differentiate significant sedimentological differences between these layers. The LEF is dominantly Late Triassic (Norian-Hettangian) in age while the UEF is mainly Early Jurassic (Sinemurian-Pliensbachian) and is tentatively regarded to preserve a continental record of the Triassic-Jurassic boundary in southern Africa. This geological formation is named after the town of Elliot in the Eastern Cape, and its stratotype locality is located on the Barkly Pass, 9 km north of the town. (en)
  • La formation d'Elliot est une formation géologique appartenant au groupe de Stormberg, le groupe le plus récent du supergroupe du Karoo. Ses affleurements se trouvent dans le nord de la province du Cap-Oriental, le sud de l'État libre et l'est du KwaZulu-Natal en Afrique du Sud ainsi qu'en plusieurs endroits du Lesotho, Qacha's Nek, Hill Top, Quthing et près de la capitale, Maseru. La formation est elle-même divisée entre lower Elliot formation (partie inférieure), LEF, et upper Elliot formation (supérieure), UEF, afin de marquer les différences sédimentologiques significatives entre les deux. La LEF date majoritairement du Trias supérieur (Norien-Rhétien), tandis que l'UEF date du Jurassique inférieur (Hettangien) et est considérée comme étant un témoin continental de l'extinction Trias-Jurassique pour l'Afrique du Sud. Son nom provient de la ville d'Elliot, désormais nommée Khowa, au Cap-Oriental, et le stratotype se situe au col de Barkly, à neuf kilomètres au nord de la ville. (fr)
