Hi everyone!

 

My son was curious about fossils in India, since we are visiting to see family. All of our knowledge about palaeontology is limited to North America, so India is completely unknown for us. I am aware of some Indian dinosaurs thanks to Prehistoric Planet and a local museum, and dinosaur egg finds published in local newspapers, but nothing else. I am pretty sure that India was once covered by a sea at some point in time, so maybe there are shells and ammonite beds in the country? 
 

If anyone can let me know about anything palaeontology related or fossil related in India, it would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure we have many actual paleontology enthusiasts from India here.  :unsure:

 

A google search of "Paleontology in India" brings up a lot of results.

I have not heard much about Indian fossils, even though I think it has some remarkable finds. But I know that there is at least Lameta Formation where Rajasaurus from Prehistoric planet is found and Kota formation. I hope this would help a bit.
