Types of fossils include: Solitary corals, gastropods, pulmonates and graptolites. These plants and animals dwelled in the shallow warm waters that covered parts of Asia in the paleocene epoch. During this period, movement occurred between the Indian and Asian plates causing them to collide.

This process resulted in the rising of the Ocean floor and the formation of the himalayas. Each unique sculpture has been crafted and polished by hand.
