Geocache Description:

Five million years ago the Cape west coast was very different from what it is today with a wide range of now extinct animals living in riverine forests, wooded savanna, the adjacent sea and on offshore islands. Phosphate mining operations at Langebaanweg uncovered one of the richest fossil sites in the world. Over the past 40 years bones of 200 different kinds of animals, many of them new to science have been recovered.

Location
The Fossil Park is situated 120km north of Cape Town, an easy one and a half hour's drive along the R27 from the city.

Opening Times
Weekdays 10h00 to 16h00
Weekends 09h00 to 12h00

The cache is hidden at the start of one of the walking trails that lead you through the park. There is no need to pay or go on a guided tour to claim the cache. But you will have to adhere to the above opening times.
