Siwalik Fossils from Ramnagar (Jammu & Kashmir), India Project ID: 00000C431 Public
425 Media · 408 Specimens · Creator: Biren A. Patel · Managed by: Biren Patel, Christopher Gilbert

Vertebrate fossils have been known from Lower Siwalik Miocene deposits surrounding the town of Ramnagar (in the state of Jammu & Kashmir) in northwest India since Barnum Brown’s American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) expedition in 1922. Paleontological fieldwork by a number of individuals and institutions has continued sporadically in the Ramnagar region ever since, and in that time, a large number of vertebrate fossils have been recovered. Much of the fossil collection is physically housed in a number of institutions in India, the United States, and elsewhere, thereby making it difficult to study these fossils in person. The goal of this collaborative project is to establish a 3D digital repository to virtually consolidate Lower Siwalik fossils (both described and undescribed) from the Ramnagar region so that they can be made accessible to the larger scientific community. This MorphoSource project is funded in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
