Exclamation The Unknown FACT!!

"The oldest dinosaur types are known from rocks in Argentina and Brazil and
are about 230 million years old. The most primitive of these types, Orator,
was a small meat-eating dinosaur. Because Orator’s skeleton shows some advanced
skeletal features, older dinosaurs may yet be found."
According to Peeyush Agnihotri, "Central India was the largest dinosaur
nesting site in the world"
Ashok Sahni, an eminent paleontologist from Punjab University, Chandigarh,
who has been associated with dinosaur studies in India, has an interesting anecdote
to narrate. "In October 1982, when I was attending a seminar in Ahmedabad,
a young Geological Survey of India (GSI) officer came to inquire about a spherical
18 cm object from me. Such objects were apparently unearthed during the blasting
operations of the then existing ACC cement factory at Balas nor and the "cannon
balls", as they were commonly known, decorated the shelves of the mine
manager’s office. We recognized the "cannon ball" to be dinosaurian
egg and within a year’s time, GSI unearthed several hundreds of them from
the area," he recalls.
Sahni observes: "India has the largest number of eggs and nests from a
single time interval (68 to 65 million years ago) representing the Lament Formation
sediments which are believed to have been deposited at the time of Deccan volcanic
activity. Other countries, such as China, Mongolia and the USA have several
horizons from which dinosaur eggs have been isolated, but not from a single
formation, as in India. What actually counts in the preservation of eggs is
really not how many eggs were laid but how many of these were preserved as fossils.
The process of fossilization is selective and as we all know eggs tend to rot
easily. For preservation of the Indian dinosaur eggs, it is believed that frequent
flooding and covering of nests and eggs by sediments led to better preservation.
There is evidence of flooding in the Lament sediments where nests have been
found. On the surface on which the nests and eggs are exposed, we find pebbles
of fairly large size, which could only have been brought there by flood waters."
Prithiraj Chungkham, a gold medalist geologist and Senior Basin Researcher
currently based in Singapore, avers that dinosaurs could have traveled thousands
of miles to nest or lay eggs in India.

Sanatana Dharma allows science and God to co-exist. According to the scriptures,
Universe was created with the primal sound OM, which is similar to the big
bang theory of science.
How come human remains are never found which 230million years are….
