The Karoo refers to a large desert area in South Africa, a smaller valley called the Little Karoo, and a geological formation of sedimentary strata called the Karoo Supergroup. The Karoo covers about two thirds of South Africa and at least 40,000 [[fossils]] have been collected from Karoo rocks. | The Karoo refers to a large desert area in South Africa, a smaller valley called the Little Karoo, and a geological formation of sedimentary strata called the Karoo Supergroup.
