About Karoo Origins - The Fossil Centre

Get ready to journey back in time! The world-famous Rubidge Fossil Collection, gathered right here in the Karoo nearly a century ago, is on display at Karoo Origins – The Fossil Centre in Graaff-Reinet. The Karoo is a giant storybook of the past, holding the longest fossil timeline in the world! It was home to incredible creatures that lived long before the dinosaurs, including the ancestors of tortoises, lizards, mammals and even us!
