... experienced the well-known 6.3 M Ceres-Tulbagh event of 29 September 1969 (currently South Africa's largest and most damaging earthquake). This latter strike-slip event occurred along the western end of the same Ceres-Kango-Baviaanskloof-Coega (CKBC) fault system, but was not accompanied by significant...

...., 2007 , 2008 ), extends for 320 km along the southern Cape Fold Belt and forms the central segment of the 602 km long west-east striking Ceres-Kango-Baviaanskloof-Coega (CKBC) fault system ( Figure 1 ). The main assumption was that where sediment is ruptured, the earthquake is younger than...

... to be partly controlled by the original depositional environment, namely, near-shore and beach environments. Strata in the study area display a range of fold styles, mostly showing northward vergence. Low angle thrust faults dip south and some thrusts dip north. In general, the orientation of fore-thrusts...

... of historic and small-scale current seismic activity along several faults in the region, including the Kango-Baviaanskloof-Coega and Kouge-Gamtoos fault sections, and possibly the Zuurberg fault to the north ( Goedhart et al., 2011 ). A recent GPS station set up east-southeast of Willowmore (on the Willowmore...

..., particularly seismogenic faults, for the Thyspunt PSHA. Given the evidence for reactivation of a portion of the Kango Fault during the Quaternary ( Goedhart and Booth 2009 ), other faults within the Ceres, Kango, Baviaanskloof, Coega (CKBC) fault system and related Kouga fault zone that lie at closer...

... Gondwana fragmented into smaller continental masses ( Dingle et al., 1983 ; Shone, 2006 ). The seismically active Ceres-Kango-Baviaanskloof-Coega fault system is the most extensive on-land normal fault feature ( Figure 1b ), and is currently the subject of a study on Neotectonic activity and determination...

... Basin where good, easily accessible outcrops are rare. The average azimuth and dip are ~210/28°S. Folding and thrust faults have been observed at this and other nearby localities ( Booth, 1996 ). This location is not suitable to measure a stratotype but a description has been included here...
