Marine Fossils Found in Himalayas

While on a reporting trip in the Himalayas, a journalist found small, ancient fossils called ammonites.

These fossils were once marine creatures that lived in an ocean called the Tethys, which existed long before the Himalayas were formed.

The fossils ended up in the mountains because of the collision of landmasses.

The journalist learned that these fossils are now rare due to climate change and human activities like gravel mining.

The fossils serve as a reminder of how landscapes change over time and the impact humans have on the environment.
