National Fossil Wood Park, Sathanur

Must to visit place to explore the fossil wood stone park. Remaining of trees and animals and other living beings which got converted to fossils are available in stone form. Road is under construction so be cautious. Located next to perambalur on NH45 road.

Must visit place. But road facilities are very bad. It is very difficult to reach the site. Fossil trees, Fossil Dinosaur egg, Fossil snail and etc. are really amazing. Construction works are not finished for museum. So some small fossils and documents like visitors register are kept in a small room near fossil wood. Good place to education tour. But toilet facilities are worst.

Well maintained place. TN government has arranged staffs to guide people those who visit this place by explaining them the big bang concepts and other details very clearly in Tamil. I could able to understand very clearly than Brila planitorium in Trichy/Chennai. Nice initiative. The entry ticket is just 5 rs. Please take your kids here, they will be wondering how universe created. This place will definitely take you to ancient period if you able to understand the value of the place you stand on. Lake side road and Landmark needs to be improved. I will take my kid here definitely when they reach 5 yrs of age.

2 crore years old tree is there,
It's now as rock, different experience

Must place to visit with children. The instructor in the centre was too good enough to explain the scientific details politely. Admired the way she delivered the content.

Its an amazing place for those who love the old history and geological sites . The place has many fossilized trees , these were old than a crore year . On the way you can find karai badlands its an evidence that the palce was sea in old time . These trees belongs to cretacous period and type of conifer tree which is non flowering trees. And the place also has some fossils inside the room . The place were so neat . But there is no availability of water or any snack spot near that . Those who are planning take those amenities with you
