Fourth expedition at Tadkeshwar Lignite mine<\/span><\/h5>\n

Our international team returned to Tadkeshwar Lignite Mine in March 2018. The crew was composed of Rajendra Singh Rana, Waqas Mirza, Raman Patel, Kishor Kumar, Rachel Dunn, C\u00e9cilia Cousin, Nathan Vall\u00e9e Gillette, and Thierry Smith. The mining activities operated in different locations of the mine at the same time. This allowed us to better correlated the stratigraphy between the different fossil spots. The collect of terrestrial vertebrates was especially good this time!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
