Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This interesting mammal-like reptile fossil was discovered on a farm near Loxton, in the Northern Cape. It took the Karoo Palaeontology team five days to excavate the skeleton and bring it back to the museum For the next year and half a trained fossil preparator carefully removed the dark grey siltstone rock from around the bone. In doing so she uncovered three important pieces of evidence that have allowed us to reconstruct details of the death, dis-articulation and final burial of this animal some 253 million years ago
