At last we got success to protect the geological treasure of kutch which
we are trying to protect and reserve for research since last 7years.
though Local government and Gujarat government geology department could
not succeed to do so and local public leaders failed to identify the
reality and necessity despite the presentation and writing to them and
local news and ETV news.
Scientist succeeded to convince the central government and Gujarat
government to do so.

Subject: Reservation of the treasured land area of fossils of KUTCH for
the
Geological research interest of the University of KUTCH.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Kutch is very rich area of geological science, not only for the minerals
of the
land but also the fossil rich area of KUTCH gives name as "GOLD MINE OF
GEOLOGY". 80% of the types of known fossil types of the world are
available only
in KUTCH and also very rare type of soft body fossils are also available
in some
of the following fossil rich area.
Our observations suggested that if such areas are not protected than
some trader
mentality people will steel those and vandals will destroy such treasure
which
are useful for the research work of the geology and kutch University
will loose
such a treasure of the educational interest.

So we request the government and the concerned geological departments to
take an
appropriate earliest action to reserve such an area mentioned below for
the
purpose of the Kutch university geological research purpose.

As Balasinor is decided as a fossil reserved area for the dinosaurs'
fossil
land, Kutch has multiple varieties of fossils along with rare type of
fossils
and those needs protection from steeling mentality traders and vandals.

Area of the RANN of the Kutch (also area near ANJAR - Kutch) known for
dinosaurs' fossil is under the Military and BSF protection from such
traders and
vandals but following area needs the further protection as reserved
fossil land.

Areas covered for the reservations:

Area of the KHATROL range of the mountain 5 Km south of BHUJ extending
from EAST
- WEST (Kukma, LAHER to LANKI - BHARASAR) covering mountain range of the
area of
the following - LAHER, GANGESHWAR - Gunavari River area, Tapkeshwar and
JADURA
mountain area, Bharapar sanatorium and SADATA, Bharasar and LANKI
mountain area.

Amongst those the Gangeshwar mountain area and Gunavari River area is
very rich
with millions of fossils of variety of types of fossils including the
rare
variety of the soft body marine fossils. So it needs particularly an
attention
to protect it with an earliest action by the Government of the GUJARAT
state.

Types of the fossils available in the area:



Marine fossils : multiple varieties of ammonites and other cephalopods
soft body
fossils. Eg. Octopus soft body fossils.



Belemnites,

Fish and jelly fish fossils,

Turtles and Turtle egg Fossils,

Crocodilians,

Sea shells - Shankhs and chips,

Coral and coral rift fossils,

+ wood fossils and Grass and vegetation fossils,

Pre Jurassic Egg hatcheries.

Dear friends of Kutch, Geology, Science and History,
Proposed Research project for a 15 km long Volcanic dykes of gangeshwar
dome
area in the KHATROL range hills of KUTCH.

Looking back to the geological history of the KUTCH after the uplift of
the land
of the Khatrol hills from the sea bed (fossils of Ammonites and
belemnites) the
khatrol range around the Gangeshwar dome is further lifted by the
volcanic
uplift to form the Gangeshwar dome area. present time a 15 KM long
volcanic dyke
is visible naked and on satellite view, extending from the Tapkeshwari
hill
across the Gangeshwar and Gunawari river region to Reha Chakar area. We
can
visualise 3-4 major displacement along the Volcanic dyke area as a sign
of major
tectonic activity later on not only that but a collapse of mountain hill
area on
the NE side of the dyke as seen in photographs. Recently Gujarat
university is
ready to accept a PHD report on the subject of Ground research of the
Dyke area
of Gangeshwar - Gunawari region of the Khatrol range hills of KUTCH.
