A SHORT VIDEO CLIP ON National Fossil Wood Park, LOCATED AT Tiruvakkarai, VILLUPURAM DISTRICT,TAMILNADU.
The park contains petrified wood fossils approximately 20 million years old, scattered throughout the park, which covers about 247 acres (100 ha). The park consists of nine enclaves, but only a small portion of the 247 acres (approx 1 square km) is open to the public. Officials of the GSI believe the fossils were formed during massive flooding that occurred millions of years ago.
The park hosts about 200 fossilized trees. They range in size from 3 to 15 metres (9.8 to 49.2 ft) meters in length, some of which are up to 5 meters in width. They are strewn and partially buried in the park grounds. No branches or leaves remain on the fossilized trunks.
Scientists speculate that the trees did not originally grow at the site, but were transported before they had petrified. M. Sonneret, a European naturalist, gave the first detailed account of the fossils in 1781.
The fossils are well preserved due to extensive petrifaction. The trees' annular rings and pit structures are clearly visible, allowing their age to be determined by counting the rings
National Fossil Wood Park, Sathanur [Perambalur ,Tamil Nadu, India]
National Fossil Wood Park, Sathanur is located in Perambalur District, in Tamil Nadu. This park is located within Sathanur panchayat and has a fossilized tree trunk, which was discovered in 1940 by renowned geologist Dr. M. S. Krishnan of the Geological Survey of India, who hailed from Tanjore. The petrified tree trunk is believed to be over 120 million years old, and is considered to be evidence for the presence of a sea during the Cretaceous period in this area. Fossil trees were found along the stream sections near Varagur, Anaipadi, Alundalipur and Saradamangalam. As part of the tourism development works, a fossil museum will be set up adjacent to the tree.
The trees belong to conifers that dominated the land vegetation during the period. It is situated about 700 m north of the village which can be approached by NH-45 connecting Chennai with Tiruchchirappalli up to Siruvachur village. From Siruvachur an unmetalled road connects Sathanur village which is about 14 km eastward. This national park is open to public throughout the year.

kal maram.' Over 100 million years old, this fossil tree ,2 கோடி ஆண்டுகள் பழமையான கல்மரம்
National Fossil Wood Park, Sattanur
Geological study shows that more than 120,000,000 years ago, the sea (which lies today about 100 Km. East of Sathanur) had transgressed as far as 8 to 10 Km West of Sathanur. During this period which is Geologically known as the cretaceous, the sea abounded in a variety of marine animals similar to those found in the present day sea. These animals, after death, sank to the bottom and were buried by sands and clays brought down by the rivers. Along with them some of the trees which flourished on the seacoast or near shore were also buried after transport by flooded streams and were petrified in course of time. The large trunk of petrified tree, which can be seen here, lies within the Trichinopoly group of rocks of about 100,000,000 years ago. This tree shows the presence of Conifers (The non flowering plants) that dominated the land vegetation prior to the advent of Angiosperms ( the flowering plants of the present of day.)
The petrified tree trunk at Sathanur measures over 18 meters in length. Similar fossil trees measuring a few meters in length are found along the stream sections near Varagur, Anaipadi, Alundalipur and Saradamangalam. Dr.M.S.Krishnan of the Geological Survey of India first reported this fossil tree in 1940.

Thiruvakkarai- National Fossil Wood Park
Tiruvakkarai is about 40 kms from Pondichery. One has to go through Oustery lake on the way. So we first visited Oustery lake and then went 20 kms further including 6 kms very poor road to find the Fossil Park. However after reaching the place I realized that the effort was worth for such a place. There are several hundred tree fossils which are estimated to be 20 million years old.
