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

<title>Abstract</title> The rapid transformation of the ocean-atmosphere-cryosphere system during last deglaciation serves as a potential model for climate change this century and beyond. Within context, sea-level can be viewed connecting tissue, but limited resolution relative (RSL) records has hindered progress toward closing ice sheet–sea level budget since Last Glacial Maximum, partitioning melt from different sources, assessing role freshwater forcing in abrupt change. Here we present...
