Abstract
Vertebrate trackways in the lower groups of the
Karoo Supergroup are mainly pre- Beaufort fish
trails, although some tetrapod trackways are known
(Griffiths, 1963, p. 292; plate I; specimens in the
South African Museum). Recently fish trails have
been discovered in the Beaufort, for instance at Kilburn
and Wagondrift, but the Beaufort, despite its
rich amphibian, reptilian and synapsid fauna, is remarkable
for the paucity of its vertebrate trackways.
Of the Stormberg (of Lesotho) it was early noted
"Fossils are comparatively rare, but reptile tracks
are fairly abundant"
