On what led to the find In 1984, GSI started an excavation in
Gujarat and unearthed several dinosaur nesting sites. One nest
had bones entangled with a crushed egg and a dinosaur baby.
Palaeontologist Jeffrey Wilson’s analysis showed the fossil to
contain a snake with a head atop. Wilson had been in India to
study the similarity between fossils of Australian and Indian
reptiles. This is because the Indian plate was joined to the
Australian landmass until the dinosaurs’ era. On the implication
of the find About 70 million years ago (the late Cretaceous
period), a global mass extinction wiped out dinosaurs. One
school of thought blames a meteor for it. The other view
stresses on the Deccan volcanic eruption. Our study says
dinosaurs existed in India even after the period of extra
terrestrial impact which is 67 million years ago. The Deccan
volcano eruption started 69 million years ago and ended 61
million years ago. It stands to reason the eruption annihilated
dinosaurs from the face of this earth. On what is n
