Dear Friends of Science and geology,

In the first Month of new year, a six mail series is sent regarding fossils and
geology rich areas of different parts of Kutch and RANN of Kutch for the geology
awareness of the KUTCH - (Gold mine of fossils and Geology). and also last year
a letter and mails sent to the government and departments for the reservation of
the fossil areas of the Kutch. (copy of letter is attached). Government is also
interested in making fossil park but not the reservation of the fossil sites of
the KUTCH. but taking fossils from Kutch and keep it at the GandhiNagar fossil
park. we should preserve the area of the source of golden eggs and not just to
kill the Hen giving the golden eggs. A fossil reservation areas are to be
secured and investment to be done to secure the treasure and development for
opportunities for jobs and Science research.

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 still 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 reserve 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 ammonite 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.
