Tectonic Evolution, Paleoenvironments, and Paleontology of the Karoo Supergroup

This session provides the summary explores the Karoo Supergroup's geological evolution, shaped by tectonic events from the Late Carboniferous to the Mid Jurassic. It explain from foreland basin, and types. It examines how Cape Orogeny, basin subsidence, and post-orogenic uplift influenced sedimentation patterns across glacial, fluvial, deltaic, lacustrine, and aeolian environments. The study also highlights key paleontological discoveries—including Glossopteris & Dicroidium flora and vertebrate fossils like Mesosaurus and Lystrosaurus—which provide crucial insights into past climates, biogeography, and the transition from icehouse to greenhouse conditions.
