Karoo Palaeo team

These are the people who spend most of the year in the fossil preparation laboratory and whose skill and dedication enable us to study the fossilised skeletons. For a month or so each year they accompany Roger Smith to the Karoo to help find and excavate fossils of mammal-like reptiles and their neighbours.
