Shivalik Fossil Park, Fossil park in Saketi, Sirmaur District of Himachal Pradesh, India
Shivalik Fossil Park is a protected site in Saketi dedicated to preserving and studying fossils from an ancient geological period. The park features a museum with bone and skeleton collections showing what animals and early primate forms once inhabited this region.
The site was established in 1974 by India's Geological Survey to protect fossils millions of years in age. This ancient record shows how the landscape and its living creatures changed over extremely long periods of time.
The site displays fossils of extinct primates that help researchers understand how early human ancestors developed and lived. These remains are presented in accessible ways that connect visitors with deep time and the history of life on Earth.
The park is accessible on foot, but the approach roads are narrow and require patience when driving to reach it. A tourism information desk is present to help visitors navigate the site and understand the exhibits.
Life-size models of extinct animals like four-horned giraffes and sabre-toothed cats stand outside the museum, bringing vanished creatures to life. These sculptures help visitors imagine how these animals looked and behaved millions of years ago.
