Dear Friends of Geology and science ,

Geology expedition of Kutch and RANN of the KUTCH Wish you all a very Happy
Republic day 2006.

Fossil also has lifespan, as it takes time to form, it also get destroyed as
time pass, weather and nature destroys them as time goes on and so after 500
-600 million years later fossils are difficult to trace or identify them. So if
we do not find any fossils beyond the time 1bn years old does not mean that
there was no life. Life was there too and may be fossilised later and eventually
may have destroyed those fossilised evidences as time ticks on.

Kutch is believed to be such main land which was part of Original Gondwana land
(JUMBU DWIP). and so as fossils of the area does suggest that. but that goes
back only to the certain period of the time limit. But scientist and Vedas do
agree that fife was existing well before that. (Both views are in favour of life
origin was started before 2bn years back). so where are those evidences and
fossils? naturally nature has power to regenerate and destroy itself.

1) Eastern kutch: Vagad - khadir and Chobari (Land of Pandavas):- Khadir and
whole of the Great RANN of the kutch - is also rich in the fossilised land area
and holds clues for origin of the life on the Earth itself. Chobari has
fossilised marine and sea shore cell shell. suggesting the area lift up at a
later stage than the main land kutch. Ramvav Fossils of fresh water fishes and
bones hold the clues for fresh water life later than the main land formation.

With the gradual lift up of the area of river basins shifted the course of
sindhu towards the west where it is at the present and saraswati basin dried up
slowly with the seismic lift up of the river basin area. where at present we can
see the underground water flow is still existing well near to the ground levels
though in other place water level has well deep down and some places too deep to
irrigate. so government also trying to revive that by putting water back in the
Rann of the Kutch and also make a fresh water sarovar by Narmada water in the
little ran of kutch. as that area is just as sea level on GPS readings. and
Narmada water can flow to sea levelled small Rann of the kutch just by
gravitation only.

Only we might loose an area of NANDA in little Rann of the Kutch which is reach
for its speciality of wild life and habitant for lesser flamingo nursery and
Wild ass -Gudkhar.

Black mountain is the highest mountain range of the kutch mountains ranges. and
guru datatreya is the highest peak of those range. But even at that highest peak
we find variety of fossils ranging from marine origin and corals to vegetative
and fresh water fish and bones. means those have been formed at different time
scales but those looks superimposed and formed twice as phase two fossil
formation. and later nature and weather has exposed them in a single place and
at the same time.

still some area is inaccessible as water and salt make it not explorable, that
area remains the reserved biosphere holding the secretes of the origin of the
life and research needs to be carried out in that respect. government has
proposed plan for that in more details will be in other parts of mail discussion
in the fossils of the great rann of the Kutch.

2) Western Kutch - Abadasa Vamoti Hills and Lakhpat MatanoMad hills and
kateshwar area:- the area of Abadasa shows the lift up in late cretaceous. and
so formation of land has fossil formation of the Sea Shells - (Blowing Shanks)
of that time and also formation of fossil fuel - we have explored area before 25
years for about two years on our routine work schedules and we found a fossil
fuel oozing out of the ground and vaporising and leaving the distinct sign of
the oily marks on the sand of the area between Prajau and Vadapadhhar Near
JAKHAU. and drilling exploration work will start for oil exploration in that sea
shore are.

Lakhpat is also rich in the fossil area not only for marine life but also fresh
water animal shells and also on Pollen fossil formation, giving clues of the
vegetations on that area and also water - fresh water and its life and also
marine evidences for the formation of the land of the area. and vegetative and
pollen fossils are suggestive of early plant life. Murchban area near Matano
mad and Mad kotada (MatanoMad hills ) is also rich in coral fossils as well as
fresh water animal shell fossil. lakhpat coal mine area is having not only
fossil fuel but also suggestive of the forests in the Kutch during that time and
giant pre Jurassic animal fossils of giant crocodilian. a skeleton of
crocodilian from coal mine (pre Jurassic crocodile ancestors) used to be giant
size of 9 to 12 meters (unlike today's 3-4 meter size crocodiles) long giant
crocodilian who used to prey on dinosaur's ancestors.

As that was the time scale of cretaceous/jurasic bondary time - forests in the
kutch and that forest was formed in to coal mine and those crocodilian are used
to be giant at that time, those findings are conclusive. and if any mistakes
are made to date less than that time needs correction. if any carbon dating
methods used for dating as carbon dating is not effective and not a correct
method for long time dating of millions of years. carbon dating can be used for
shorter time scales correctively and effectively as it has shorter half life
time. (time in 10000s to 100,000s years are effective way to use carbon dating
methods).

3) Northern Kutch : Black mountain range and Kaurbet - Mori bet area. The whole
range formed much later than the main land kutch and whole of the of the great
Rann of Kutch was originally part of undersea land. later lift up of northern
hill range along with black mountain of the Kutch was formed and is full of the
fossil history of the area. and is as rich as Khatrod range fossils. later that
sea bottom was up lifted with gradual seismic lift up and holding the clues of
the undisturbed fossilised history of the formation of that time scale. With the
formation of the Himalayas and formation of the river Sindhu and Saraswati
(Ghaghara hakkar) water flew to the south towards the kutch in the Rann of the
kutch forming a fresh water lake reserve where there used to be sea water and
sea water moved back due to lift up of the Rann area. so we do find the old
fossils of marine shells and coral fossils as well as fresh water fish bones and
shells and also vegetation of the land and pollen fossil formation and also land
dinosaurs fossils in kaurbet dating back not only to Jurassic but also pre
Jurassic 178 mn years back - Dino fossils back to cretaceous period and also
fossil fuel formation - by Dr Daas on ONGC exploration drilling in Kunvar bet in
1999

We found variety of fossils in single place and also in different places.
kaurbet -Kunvar bet and moribet was land area surrounded by fresh water of
Sindhu saraswati. and the area was vegetative and so pre-Jurassic/Jurassic
animals were living in that land area. and findings of 178 mn years old
bones/tooth fossils by Dr Daas during drilling in the kunvar bet area on ONGC
mission in 1999 are confirmative. at that time origin of the flow of the water
of Sindhu / saraswati was not the Himalaya as that time that source was not
there at all. water from the Indian continental plate was the source of the
water and later with the formation of Himalayas and new tributaries joined those
existing water channels to form the famous rivers of Sindhu saraswati.

With the gradual lift up of the area of river basins shifted the course of
sindhu towards the west where it is at the present and saraswati basin dried up
slowly with the seismic lift up of the river basin area. where at present we can
see the underground water flow is still existing well near to the ground levels
though in other place water level has well deep down and some places too deep to
irrigate. so government also trying to revive that by putting water back in the
Rann of the Kutch and also make a fresh water sarovar by Narmada water in the
little ran of kutch. as that area is just as sea level on GPS readings. and
Narmada water can flow to sea levelled small Rann of the kutch just by
gravitation only.

Only we might loose an area of NANDA in little Rann of the Kutch which is reach
for its speciality of wild life and habitant for lesser flamingo nursery and
Wild ass -Gudkhar.

Black mountain is the highest mountain range of the kutch mountains ranges. and
guru datatreya is the highest peak 1437 ft of those range. But even at that
highest peak we find variety of fossils ranging from marine origin and corals to
vegetative and fresh water fish and bones. means those have been formed at
different time scales but those looks superimposed and formed twice as phase two
fossil formation. and later nature and weather has exposed them in a single
place and at the same time.

still some area is inaccessible as water and salt make it not explorable, that
area remains the reserved biosphere holding the secretes of the origin of the
life and research needs to be carried out in that respect. government has
proposed plan for that in more details will be in other parts of mail discussion
in the fossils of the great rann of the Kutch.

4) RANN of the Kutch & Salt lake of the RAN of the Kutch:- From West to East -
Koteshshwar, Narayan sarovar, Lakhapat , kateshwar range, Kaur bet, Mori bet
VigaKot, northern edge of Black mountains , Pachham range, Vagad - area Chobari,
Ekalmata, khadir range fossils.


As the area is isolated - Difficult to disturb is well preserved by human
activity and as restricted to human activity and under the control of BSF and
military forces for the security reasons. But with request to special
exploration with BSF we explored the area of Not only the Black mountain range
but also deep to the limit to the national boundary in the desert. Including
area of Kaur -Kunvar bet , Mori bet and deep to VigaKot and found the evidences
of fossilised marine and fresh water life fossils.

We took the teams of the selected students along with teachers to introduce the
area. for purpose of the History and introducing our borders and also
exploration and study science and geology of the area. as time permitted we
realised that we need to visit again that area to complete the work. and
suddenly commanding officer of the area realised our visit and CO of BSF visited
us to take us to those place again to revisit that area with their team and
collaborate them to explore and investigate those are. so as to full fill both
activity - reinvestigation and exploration of the area and introduce an share
the resources and collaborate the exploration and investigation with BSF and
science group of India
