"Parts of the Kalahari receive over 250 mm of erratic rainfall annually ... making the Kalahari a fossil desert."

I don't find the term fossil desert on Google. Can anyone define?
Same as a paleodesert, a fossil desert is basically a region that used to be a desert but which now gets more precipitation. It retains a lot of the desert geology such as sand dunes, though. I just added some stuff on this to the desert article, but I didn't have enough to create a whole separate article on it. Bryan 20:42, 8 May 2004 (UTC)Reply
I have, therefore, changed the link from to point to the section in the desert page :Aidan (Not affiliated with the original question, just passing through)

Have edited this page, removing the obscenities that appeared when the edit page showed up. Whoever put them in is obviously an incredibly mature person, who has a great deal of time to make fun of a people whom they neither understand nor want to understand. Congratulations on the perpetuation of Bushman-hating. !xuxobo
