Overview
- Villagers uncovered a large spine-like structure and pieces resembling petrified wood during a pond excavation in Megha, Jaisalmer.
- Fatehgarh SDM Bharatraj Gurjar and the tehsildar inspected the site and informed higher authorities.
- Officials say a GSI team is expected to visit next week, and the area around the pond has been sealed for scientific examination.
- Some coverage cites geologist Narayan Das Inakhiya suggesting possible Jurassic vertebrate remains, a view not yet confirmed by GSI.
- Other experts urge caution, noting the finds are exposed at the surface and require proper dating and stratigraphic study in a region known for prior dinosaur-era discoveries.
