This study uses petrographic and geochemical techniques to investigate the occurrence of Vredefort proximal impact ejecta in the Paleoproterozoic Maremane Dome, South Africa. Anomalous spherical objects ca. 15 mm in apparent diameter have been observed near the top of the Doornfontein Conglomerate Member in the Maremane Dome, South Africa. The objects were previously described as pisolites formed by laterization.enVredefort ejectaGeologyNorthern CapeGeochemical and petrographic evidence for the Vredefort proximal impact ejecta in the Northern Cape, South AfricaUniversity of the Western Cape
