Balasinor (22.95°N, 73.33° E), Gujarat, India was a princely state belonging to the Babi dynasty. Since1980s, the place has been attracting a large number of geoscientists for its rich record of dinosaurian fossil eggs, nesting grounds, teeth and bone fossils within the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Lameta Formation. Although the area is fenced and maintained by the State Forest Department of Gujarat as a Dinosaur Fossil Park, the best preservation, protection and maintenance practices are grossly lacking.
