I would love to have been able to handle this specimen. There seems to be a lot of bones, but they are quite small.

@lynette-luff thank you again for the info . I have hundreds of pounds of this rock in my pals backyard, I could even send some to you maybe to investigate? with all of your knowledge if you could let me know what you discovered, I’d be happy to. I am very intrigued with all of the shapes and fossils embedded in it. Your Expertise is Much appreciated once again.

I am a retired teacher who was blessed enough to work on a site where the fossils were at the school. for more than 30 years. I became an amateur paleontologist when one of my kids brought me the head of a rib bone. My school lies in the Drakensberg with the soil layet being in the Katberg and Beaufort range. my best find

Sorry my best find was a Proterosuchus of which there are only 11 specimen. They are so scarce I wasn’t allowed tobkerp

to keep a shard of it. Bloemfontein National Museum helped me to buy a cast of a specimen. Im aiming to start teaching the children of our region about our fossil heritage. I was bitten by the fossil bug. I believe that when the rockhounding bug bites you you are sick, very sick indeed. Howevervwhen the fossilbug bites you become terminally ill.
