Formation of mud clast breccias and the process of sedimentary autobrecciation in the hominin-bearing (Homo naledi) Rising Star Cave system, South Africa
Jelle P. Wiersma, Eric M. Roberts, Paul H. G. M. Dirks, 2020. Sedimentology 67(2): 897-919.
Sedimentological and micromorphological study showing that the fossil-bearing Unit 3 breccia formed in place by repeated wetting, drying and mineral growth breaking up older laminated mud (autobrecciation), not by water transport.
What it's used for here
The natural process that can mix and rework the sediment the burial claim reads as infill.
