So I have decided to try take it slow and post one fossil at a time since I dont get new fossils very often. These fossils were found in a cave in the Knysna region of the Western Cape not far from the Karoo. The farmer who found them claims that the fossil is an ancient Seabed, with plankton and plant life nestled in there. There seems to be a crustacean like creature and coral like material but I am no expert. Which era could this have come from? What kind f life is in here? These fossils are very brittle and powdery, both the rock layer and the imprint. More close up images are to follow.
