The Amateur Paleontologist Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I noticed that in the wide world of vertebrate paleontology, not a lot of attention is given to India, despite some rather good Mesozoic (notably Triassic) vertebrate sites. I thought it would be nice to share this with the other TFF members, to promote a bit the advances in Indian vertebrate paleo: https://www.researchgate.net/project/Mesozoic-Microvertebrates Some of the papers have the full text available. What do you people think? -Christian 3 Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q. Where do dinosaurs study? A. At Khaan Academy!...

Troodon Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Not a lot of attention probably because not a lot of exciting finds have come from there. Thanks for the link interested in seeing what their triassic looks like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Amateur Paleontologist Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 @Troodon I agree with you there - always find it interesting to learn about fossils from more "obscure" (paleontologically speaking) countries like Venezuela, Denmark or India 1 Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

Fruitbat Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Actually, I DO have links to a few papers on India in the 'Asia' section of my pdf library here on TFF. It is a section that I've neglected for a while but I'll spend more attention on it starting today! Here's a LINK. Just scroll down until you get to the section for India. -Joe 5 Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Okay...I filled in a FEW of the holes in the section for India...but there are still a lot to go! My fingers are getting tired from typing. -Joe 1 Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you people think? -Christian There have been some finds and papers on the subject of early whales (Eocene stuff) from India. There's a good mainstream book on recent advances in the understanding of the earliest whales (Thewissen, 2014) with some of the action taking place there. You can find some technical articles using "Thewissen" as a keyword. Thewissen, J.G.M. 2014. The Walking Whales: From Land to Water in Eight Million Years.

The Amateur Paleontologist Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Just found this 1999 paper relating to the Indian Triassic vertebrate fauna : Middle_Triassic_vertebrates_of_India.pdf -Christian Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!
