Jabalpur - India's 1st Dinosaur Excavation

Jabalpur holds a unique place in India’s prehistoric record as the site of the country’s first dinosaur fossil discovery in 1828, where fossilized vertebrae of Titanosaurus indicus were found near Bara Simla Hill; this discovery, later identified by the Geological Survey of India, helped put Indian paleontology on the map and connects the city’s deep geological past to its present heritage, reminding us that the land beneath Jabalpur was once home to massive dinosaurs and ancient ecosystems.
