Otho Fosil Ubach by Dipan Bhattacharya [Hardcover]

"In India, the first organized thoughts about fossils began during the British period. Efforts to recover fossils and related endeavors, following the footsteps of legends, have been documented in various places. This book attempts to provide the first account of those efforts in Bengali. Additionally, there are concise descriptions of stories and narratives about fossils prevalent in foreign lands. Some essential topics have also been discussed, such as: Did the concept of dragons come from dinosaur fossils? Is the Ganga's vehicle, Makara, a prehistoric creature? Is the idea of the giant Kurma avatar derived from fossils? And so on."
