Pygocephalomorph crustaceans? What species? I found hundreds of these today, it's funny as I have not even seen these in this location before and today they where everywhere. Also found some mesosaur material, not the best specimens. These fossils are found in the early to middle permian Ecca group which is a part of the Karoo super group. Today I was just thinking how blessed I am to have a variety of different aged formations so close to home. I live in the heart of the Devonian bokkeveld and witteberg group which forms part of the cape supergroup, there are Mio-Plio-pleistocene deposits an hour and half west and south, as well as some Karoo super Group locations 10min from my home. So much to explore and learn. Also this forum has really helped me these last couple of months since I have taken fossil hunting much more seriously now, than in the last few years. Thanks to everyone

The dinosaur graveyards of the Eastern Cape Province. Karoo Supergroup, South Africa
Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Fossil News
Exploring the dinosaur graveyards of the Eastern Cape A chance discovery by a local shepherd has lead to a major scientific research program involving palaeontologists from South Africa, the UK and the US in the Karoo Basin. The area is proving to be one of the richest localities for vertebrate fossils in South Africa. by David Paul Ford, Oct 03, 2019 https://natureecoevocommunity.nature.com/users/317374-david-paul-ford/posts/54340-exploring-the-dinosaur-graveyards-of-the-eastern-cape Yours, Paul H.-

Hi everyone. I am completely inexperienced in this. I dont even know if I have actually found a fossil. I live in the Karoo and found the attached rocks on one of my mountain climbs. There seems to be a layer of this rock about halfway up and I am sure there are plenty more. If you can advise me. I apologise for the quality of the pictures and hope you can make them out. Thank you so much

Hi there. My name is vicky. I live in a very remote part of the karoo in South Africa. I am completely inexperienced at anything to do with fossils. I found something that looks like it might be a fossil while mountain climbing and need some help please

This is the third of the rocks. They all came from the same area of the mountain. Look forward to hearing from you.
