Visitors can view the fossil of a Bradysaurus dating back 250 million years. Bradysaurus was a group of early reptiles found in South Africa with massive bodies, strong limbs and huge skulls.

They roamed the Karoo landscape, which was once a vast inland sea. The sandy, muddy area that the Bradysaurus called home has now turned into sandstone and mudstone, and the Karoo has become dry and arid. 

The rocks of the Karoo, however, preserve numerous fossils that show the early evolution of tortoises, dinosaurs and mammals. It is the only region in the world with such an extensive record of reptilian fossils. It is truly a treasure chest of historical and geological life.

Melton Wold offers visitors the chance to see the fossil up close and learn more about its history and geological value.
