The Geological Survey of India (GSI) said Tuesday that Meghalaya was a treasure containing many geological events and that the institution was working closely with the government to make the state a site Geoheritage. Meghalaya is a treasure for geologists because the state has recorded many geological events. The section of the Therriaghat Um Sohryngkew River in Meghalaya is well known for having the most complete transition between the Cretaceous and Paleogene boundaries in India, which is indicative of the time when the dinosaurs disappeared, said the director of the Tapan Pal policy support system at an event here to celebrate the International Day of Fossils
Pal said, stating that the GSI was working closely with the state government to make this region a geological heritage site. Geoheritage is a generic term applied to sites or areas with geological features of significant scientific, educational, cultural or aesthetic value. The event highlighted the scientific and educational value of fossils and paleontology and the importance of fossil preservation for future generations. Mulk Raj Sarngal, DG of GSI Additional (North East Region), said that fossils provide us with information on the evolution of life through geological recordings and that the purpose of the celebration was to raise awareness public to the importance of fossils in terms of their scientific and educational value. 19659003] (With the participation of the agencies.)
