Reconstruction of site formation at Langebaanweg

Langebaanweg Part Two

As promised, here is the link to the second part of my series on the fossil site Langebaanweg. The site was a huge part of my life for a long time and its been a delight to share it with more people.

This article looks at the sedimentoloy of the site, which is quite dry I admit, and then digs down into some of the interpretations of the environment and the controversies around how the bonebed was formed. Click below to go to the PalaeoCast website and read the full article.

Artistic rendition of the deposition of the Bonebed. Part of a series of paintings by Cedric Hunter showing how carcasses may have accumulated in the assemblage. On display at the West Coast Fossil Park.
