Coastal deposits 1.95 to 1.72 Ma old are investigated in the Turkana Depression. Wave-dominated coastal sedimentary features record the evolution of paleo-Lake Turkana. Two orbitally-driven orders of regressive-transgressive cycles are revealed. Low climate variability characterize the period between 1.95 and 1.72 Ma.
