Abstract

Identification of a boulder pavement intercalated between two diamictites of the "Lutôe Series" in Angola points out for a glacial origin for these rocks. Measurement of striae on clasts, their disposition in the pavement and the fabric of diamictites indicate movement of Late Paleozoic (Gondwana) glaciers towards NW in this part of the Congo Basin.
