SHALE BEDS OF TAMILNADU

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to share my recent field trip to Gunduperumbedu region of Upper Gondwana period aged 113-125 Million years ( Aptian Stage ). The shale deposits of this strata is typically deeply embedded within the soil like Stacks of books arranged in the library. This time after continuous chiselling and searching found two beautifully preserved leaf fossil. Last time since it was a freshly dug ponds remnants we were able to find many specimens but, this time it was bit more tricky.
