| Feature : | rockfall |
| Grouping : | slopes and slope deposits |
| Discipline : | geomorphology |
| Year : | 1995 |
| Locality : | Sodmein cave |
| Country : | Kenya |
| Region - tribe : | Quseir |

| Notice : | Rockfall has been active inside the rock shelter. It results here in slightly stratified deposits, supplemented by the ceilings through flaking and spalling off and also through granular desaggregation, producing a lot of 'dust'. Some of the dust probably comes from outside the cave as a result of aeolean activities. |
