We are immensely grateful to Professor Rubidge and the team at Karoo Origins – The Fossil Centre for welcoming our learners so warmly. It was a truly enriching experience and a wonderful opportunity for our 𝗧𝗢𝗣 𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟 𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗕 members to deepen their appreciation for the unique natural heritage of our area.

Led by none other than Professor Bruce Rubidge, the learners were treated to a guided exploration of the centre, where they had the chance to discover the fascinating fossil history of the Karoo.
