Akal Wood Fossil Park - History details

The Akal Wood Fossil Park, located near Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, is a geo-heritage site and a window into the region's prehistoric past. The park's main feature is a collection of petrified wood logs that are approximately 180 million years old, dating back to the early Jurassic period. This provides significant geological evidence that the area, which is now the arid Thar Desert, once had a hot and humid climate that supported a lush forest.
