from Part III - Eastern and Central Africa
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 May 2022
The Baringo Basin first came to the attention of European explorers during a geological survey by Joseph Thomson in 1884. The Cambridge Expedition to the East African Lakes discovered fossils in 1930 and 1931, but descriptions were delayed until a report by Vivian E. Fuchs (1950). During the 1950s, Robert M. Shackleton worked in the Baringo Basin and was followed by geologists from the Kenya Geological Survey, who also contributed to the basic geological mapping and framework, particularly in the southern portion of the Tugen Hills that is the focus of this chapter (McCall et al., 1967; Walsh, 1969).
