From the archive record

Denzil Britto says "Here you can see a large block of sandstone which we have acquired from one of the mines in Jodhpur and its a very specific place from where we got this rock is marked as the geological hotspot. Because of these patterns which you see on this particular rock and we call them traces. These are one of the earliest crawling creatures or you can say one of the living organism that can travel from one place to another." The volcanic rocks at Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park were formed somewhere between 745 and 680 million years ago. The volcanic formations are chiefly rhyolite, with welded tuff, and breccia found in some areas. Special thanks to H.H. Maharaja Gaj Singhji of Jodhpur, Managing Trustee of Mehrangarh Museum Trust.
