Description: The fault scarps cut the Lower Pleistocene Peninj Group sediments so that some outcrops are down in the Natron trough as seen here, while others over large areas of the plateau above. The Peninj australopithecine jaw was found in the eroded area seen here.

Description: Diagrams illustrating the stratigraphy and dating of the mandible. It was stratified below one lava dated at 1.3 million years and also below another one with normal polarity. This suggests Olduvai event age 1.8 - 1.6 million years (see Isaac and Curtis, 1974).

Description: An Olivine basalt flow in Humbu Formation tuffs. These tuffs are equivalent to the tuffs just above the mandible. The potassium-argon age of the lava thus helps to date the mandible (Isaac and Curtis, 1974).

Description: However in one area, far inland from the lake, erosion has exposed a concentration of stone tools at a horizon between that dated to 1.3 and 1.6. This is the site RHS. Here Margaret Leakey and Glynn Isaac sort specimens from the eroded surface of this site.

Description: A closer view of the fault scarp plus a Pleiocene volcano, Mozonik, that projects through a flood of lavas. Behind is the active volcano Lengai which has been built up entirely since the period in which the Peninj beds were deposited.

Description: Air view of the escarpment that runs parallel to the western shore of the lake. The faults creating this scarp have moved mainly since the deposition of the Peninj fossiliferous beds. The plain above runs through a gap to join with the Serengeti at Olduvai Gorge, which is only about 30 miles away.
