In my country, very similar, except that it happend in a fresh water environment with a big freshwater lake in the middle and that the coal deposits were formed during the Late Carboniferous (few lenses) , the Permian (most of the coal) and Early Triassic (big, "coaly" deposits such as the Waterberg coal).
In SA we don't find Cretaceous coal at all.
