Lecturer: Dr Derik Wolvaardt, Palaeontologist
In 1976 James Kitching pointed out a locality on the farm Lemoenfontein in the southern Free State where he found what he interpreted to be cynodont burrow casts and a few Trirachodon and procolophonid skulls.
Derik Wolvaardt’s subsequent exploration of this locality revealed that its rocks record a diverse faunal record. They have found a variety of well-preserved fossils. To date this locality has delivered 124 skulls of at least six different taxa, many with articulated skeletons. This site is generating information that will help to reconstruct the palaeoenvironments and palaeoecology of Middle Triassic tetrapods more accurately.
