The Geological Survey of India (GSI) currently maintains two protected areas bearing rich fossil deposits.

  • Mandla Plant Fossils National Park, near Dindori, Madhya Pradesh is a park that attempts to preserve the fossil remains of a primordial forest that covered the region 40—150 million years ago.[1]
  • Both parks, numerous fossil displays and models in Indian zoological parks, are part of the Geological Survey's charter program to educate the general public on the Earth's evolutionary history. One of the more comprehensive displays is that of the Natural History Museum of the Nehru Zoological Park, Hyderabad.

    The GSI also manages the following fossil parks:
