Summary
The Tugen Hills range in Central Kenya is a 75 km north–south-oriented horst block tilted to the west (Chapman, 1971; Chapman et al., 1978; Hill et al., 1986; Williams and Chapman, 1986). The range is situated to the west of Lake Baringo and forms the eastern margin of the Kerio Valley (Figure 27.1).
