description Karoo Overview
The Karoo is a broad, dry interior region of South Africa characterized by open plains, sparse vegetation, and basin landscapes separated by mountain ranges and escarpments. Its geology includes extensive sedimentary rocks of the Karoo Supergroup, which preserve important Permian and Triassic fossils, including remains of early mammal-like reptiles. The name is used for several overlapping subregions, especially the Great Karoo and the Little Karoo, rather than for one sharply bounded administrative area.
