Balasinor In Gujarat Is The Largest Dinosaur Fossil Site In The World But No One Knows About It

Did you know that a small town called Balasinor in Gujarat is home to the one of the largest dinosaur fossils sites in the world? No, you don’t. 

At Balasinor, there’s a fossilised dinosaur nesting ground and a prehistoric burial ground. But, no one knows because no one talks about it. Moreover, no one thought that this could be developed as a tourist site or say a UNESCO Geo park.  

Paleontologists believe that nearly seven species of dinosaurs lived here. In fact, researchers have uncovered fossils of about 10,000 dinosaur eggs, making Raiyoli village in Balasinor the third largest hatchery in the world.

Previously in 2003, they also discovered a new species here, which belonged to the Tyrannosaurus Rex family. It was named Rajasaurus narmandensis which means a princely reptile from the Narmada.
