Inside the Cave.
When the water level is high, this whole cave would be flooded.

You may not believe, but this is a genuine fossil.
I bought it for less than S$2.00
Himalayas is among the youngest mountain range and it is growing higher every year!!!
It was used to be a seabed,. hence, it is not surprising to find fossil in the mountain.
.
.
.

We decided to buy 2 unopened stones (which could have fossil inside) for HY.
It is like buying lottery. =)
