Mporokoso Group

The Mporokoso Group is the name given to a sedimentary succession of fluvial, lacustrine and aeolian sandstones and minor siltstones occurring on the Bangweulu Block of northern Zambia.^[1]

The succession is likely to be largely over 1.8 billion years old, and forms part of the regionally defined Muva Supergroup which occurs also in the Irumide Belt of Zambia.
