Abstract
Summary: Tillite and other glacial rocks have been found at the base of a sedimentary sequence in the northern part of Tigre Province, Ethiopia. Their glacial origin cannot be doubted, for in addition to beds of tillite containing abundant striated boulders, glaciated bedrock has been found. The rocks are correlatives either of the Upper Carboniferous glacial rocks of southern Africa or of Ordovician glacial rocks recently mapped in the Hoggar District of southern Algeria.Keywords
