Ghugwa Fossil Park, Madhya Pradesh

In Ghugwa Fossil Park, where the forest melds into a blanket of waist-high wild grass on an undulating hilltop, you will find four large collections of fossils that will blow your mind. Locals refer to these fossils as &ldquopathar ke ped&rdquo&nbspor stone trees. These relics are up to 65 million years old, that's 325 times as old as the human race. It was formed from trees that existed at the same time that Triceratops, the last of the dinosaurs, roamed the planet.
