For this week’s “Monday Geology Picture” I’m sharing a picture of some bones from a Pleistocene age fossil site located about an hour’s drive from Cape Town, South Africa. I took this picture last year during a visit to the West Coast Fossil Park. If you ever find yourself in the Cape Town area, I highly recommend a visit to the fossil site. You can tour the dig site, and there’s a great little museum and educational center nearby as well. Later this week, I’ll share some more pictures from the fossil park and will tell you a little more about it. For today, enjoy this preview picture.

Update November 11th, 2015: I realize that I still have gotten around to sharing some more pictures and information. I’m busy working on a post, so stay tuned!
