Dear Science and the Geology friends,

A special Guide is Fying to the LOCATION in the end of MAY for a fortnight for
GEOLOGISTs to lead the team to Earliest octopus fossil found in Jurassic rocks.
and full exploration schedules are as below mail.

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,
