India’s richness
India has a rich geological history
Prominent fossils include the jaw of an extinct ape.

India is home to a vast treasury of geological and palaeontological specimens
Several collections of fossils and important geological specimens weren’t properly organised,
But these rare specimens are scattered in different labs all over the country.
