The Wonders of the Devonian World

Step into the wonders of the Devonian world at 87 Beaufort Street (next to Victoria Girls' High School), where 360-million-year-old fossils reveal a past world. Featuring extraordinary specimens from Waterloo Farm—located just outside Makhanda—this display showcases the most complete estuarine ecosystem of its age ever discovered. Highlights include Africa’s earliest known four-legged animals, the Africa’’s oldest coelacanth, the world’s oldest lamprey and many more fascinating fossilized creatures, brought to life through scientific reconstructions.
