Kotelnich, River port town in Kirov Oblast, Russia
The town extends along the Trans-Siberian Railway on the right bank of the Vyatka River, near its meeting point with the Moloma River.
Originally named Koksharov in 1143 as a Mari settlement, Russians took control in 1182 and renamed it Kotelnich, derived from 'kotel' meaning hollow.
The Paleontological Museum showcases local excavations of Pareiasaurus fossils, ancient reptiles that lived in the region over 250 million years ago.
Located 124 kilometers southwest of Kirov, the town connects major transportation routes through its position on the Trans-Siberian Railway network.
The area contains significant deposits of Pareiasaurus fossils, making it an essential location for understanding prehistoric life from the Permian period.
