Langebaanweg

Dr Marco Pavia is borrowing Early Pliocene raptor and shorebird fossils for taxonomic and morphological analyses. This study will go someway to completing the study of the top avian predators while that of the shorebirds will provide information about the less well known African Neogene shorebirds and their palaeoecology. The fossil material was collected from the West Coast Fossil Park (Langebaanweg), Western Cape and currently housed at Iziko South African Museum.
