River-end deposits have formed along stretches of the Hoanib River (northern Namib). They include the older Anabeb Silts (c. 400 BC) and the very young Amspoort Silts (AD 1640-1720) and are indicative of rainfall variation on both a small temporal (hundreds of years) and also on a small spatial scale.
