Long before the golden dunes of the Thar Desert became a symbol of timeless beauty, this land lay beneath the ancient Tethys Sea.
In the heart of Jaisalmer, palaeontologists from the Geological Survey of India uncovered extraordinary marine fossils dating back to the Middle Eocene period — nearly 50 million years old.
🗿 What was found?
• Fragments of a primitive whale (jaw & vertebrae)
• Shark teeth
• Crocodilian teeth

• Dinosaur eggs
Imagine… the sands you walk on today were once ocean floors.
It’s a powerful reminder — landscapes are not permanent. They are chapters in Earth’s ever-evolving story.
