¤ Jaisalmer Submerged under Sea-Bed

Millions of years ago Jaisalmer was submerged by the ocean, and the discovery of sea shells here emphasises that belief. The wood fossils at Akal (17 km off the city on the Jaisalmer-Barmer road) are an example of the fossilisation archaeologists say occurred 180 million years ago. The story goes that entire forests were so petrified of something that they were converted into stone. The fossils are said to represent non-flowering plants and provide a clue to the age of the deposition of sediments. At nearby Kandiala the deposits are probably older, but historians have been unable to ascribe a date to it.
