The fossils are preserved remains of body parts or traces of ancient organisms. Sri Lanka is a continental island that evolved via unique geological formations, including fossil remains. This island represents many fossils belonging to three different geological periods, for instance: the Jurassic period, Miocene period, and Pleistocene epoch. Most...

The study chronicles a series of landmark events of Polonnaruwa Arnaganwila, dry zone of Sri Lanka carbonaceous meteorites that impacted on 29 th December 2012. The main objective of this study was to compile the citied articles for creating a plausible corresponding model to possess the sedimentation of Micro Fossils (Fosil diatoms) found in carbo...

Sabaragamuwa basin is the dominant type of natural museum in Sri Lanka. Cultural remains of Homo sapiens discovered alongside the skeletal fragments, which include with the geometric microliths. Other discoveries include various fauna and flora that are thought to have formed part of their diet, also the animal bones which was fossilized surroundin...

The Quaternary period of the geographic history of the earth includes two geologic epochs viz., the Pleistocene and the Holocene. Both epochs divided the faunal stages and human cultural phases based on climate and sea level changes that took place during these periods. The Quaternary ice age began roughly about 2.58 MYO with cool and dry climate c...

A sufficient knowledge on prehistoric culture and habitat of earliest Homo sapiens (Balangoda man) is available in Batadomba-lena cave, a noticeable rock shelter in lowland rainforest of southwestern Sri Lanka goes upto Pleistocene and Holocene eras. Late Pleistocene inhabitants of Batadombalena cave's foraged for a broad spectrum of plant and main...

Presently Sri Lanka is an island existing in the Indian Ocean. It was a part of Gondwanaland during middle Jurassic epoch and began breaking up from the Indian continent during the late Jurassic as a separate single land mass. During the early Miocene era Sri Lanka was further shifted south-east direction forming the cauvery basin where huge amount...

Eco Astronomy is the scientific study of extreme environmental conditions, effecting to the Harbor Life. Planetary habitability and harbored life on the earth can best be proved by paleontological evidences found from the earth and the extraterrestrial objects reached the earth(Mckay, 1996). As per the present knowledge on the life of the Universe,...

The Pleistocene is a geological time period which commenced 2 -1.67 million before present about 12,000-10,000 years before present. During this period most parts of the Northern Hemisphere were covered with glaciers creating a cooler climate. Due to this glacial formation the main sea level was much lower than today. The low sea levels facilitated...
