ProposalDescription: 

The permit application is to survey and collect fossils from the Permo-Triassic exposures on the farm Barendskraal (owned by Hathersage), Eastern Cape.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The purpose of this research is to study the recovery fauna that lived after the Permo-Triassic Mass Extinction in the Karoo Basin of South Africa. The farm Barendskraal contains important Lower Triassic strata from where numerous fossils pertaining to the extinction recovery have been recovered. It is important to monitor this site on a regular basis. This application forms part of a larger, collaborative project on the Permo-Triassic Mass Extinction that I have been conducting for several years.
