Dear Science and the Geology friends,

Hello dear friends, Visiting Meghpar Village in July, after first rain to
explore INDUS civilisation

I will be visiting Meghpar Village in July just after first rain to
explore INDUS civilisation of the Village (which has relation with an
Astronomical event and specimen collections)and I will let you know - any
interested friends can join to visit Meghpar Indus Civilisation. (one of our
members is from Meghpar so let him know)

More over Ecologist Jugal Tiwari will be coming back (for settlement) to
Kutch in the end of MAY for the wild life of the Kutch and birds. we may take
his advantage in cming seasons if any one has such an
interest. Thank you


The earliest octopus fossil was found in Jurassic rocks. It is unusual for an
octopus - an animal without a shell or skeleton - to be fossilised.

Do not be surprised if you find a Giant Squidd Fossils in The Gangeshwar dome
near Gunawari River in the mountains near Madhapar (5KM) in BHUJ (10 Km )
-KUTCH, We have got some perfect views of such fossils and sent to the experts
for the identification and verifications. But did not expose to others just to
protect those from Vandals and Thieves of stealing mentality traders. The rock
in which the fossils were hidden to protect from those "thieves and vandals."
Fossils found in older layers may have been formed later in the geological
process , And those fossil layer may contain old layers of fossils superimposed
by the new formation of layers and phase Two fossils in the new younger layers,

world's largest fossil of the squid-like, straight-shelled cephalopod a
spiral-shelled subclass of cephalopods. A cephalopod is a marine mollusk that
has a distinct head with suckers attached to it, highly developed eyes and
varying numbers of arms.
fossil almost 6-feet long and 90-100 million years old.

Phase Two fossil: Some Geologist do disagree with the Phase Two formation of the
fossils in Older layers but they need to understand the later formations, on
the layer of old fossilised layers which are indistinguishable from the newly
formed layers at the same place. (read below)

Dear Dear Madam/Sir & Science friends,



We are organizing a NOTION to understand the Geology of Kutch. As a part of it
we are planning a Public tour for the Geology SCIENCE awareness and Study tour.
We wish Your School also take part in that Study tour.



School Children can come along their Parents or as a group of School preferably
with science or Social study teacher (So that they can achieve maximum advantage
of the subject) or any tour guide teacher/volunteers.



Dates: Saturday 27 Aug. 05 - JANMASTHAMI -(7:30am - 11:30am) & Saturday 3 Sept.

Morning hours so every one can return home for "BHOJAN". If those days have
rainy weather than it will be advisable to have rain protection rubber sheets or
an Umbrella. If you wish take photos keep you camera with you.

Geology specimens "AMONITE FOSSILES - ASHMIs" can be collected for schools and
for an individual. You will need a BAG to carry them. You can see a BIG PRE
JURASIC FOSSIL which is more than 18,00,00,000 years.
