Ariyalur District

Ariyalur is a Municipality in Ariyalur district in the state of Tamil Nadu, India.[1] The region near Ariyalur is rich in fossils from the lateMaastrichtian. Fossils of the dinosaur Dravidosaurus, dinosaur eggs and numerous other fauna have been recorded here. The fossils in limestone sediment are however threatened as the place is mined for the production of cement by several factories in the region
