Akal Wood Fossil Park
Akal Wood Fossil Park is a protected paleontological site and National Geological Monument located approximately 17-18 kilometers from Jaisalmer city in Rajasthan. The park preserves petrified tree trunks and plant fossils dating back approximately 180 million years to the Jurassic period. Spread over 21 hectares, it features fossilized gymnosperm wood logs, some measuring up to 13.4 meters in length, providing evidence of an ancient forest ecosystem that once existed in this now-arid desert region.
