Khao Noi Fossil Site

รายละเอียด

The Khao Noi Fossil Site is located in Kamphang Sub-district, La-ngu District, Satun Province. This site is a continuation of the Khao Noi rock formation, extending approximately 500 meters to the east. The fossil site is covered by a small structure with four supporting posts and a zinc roof, with an area of about 20 x 20 square meters. The rock formations resemble large termite mounds and consist of beautifully stacked thin layers of red limestone, with a surface structure similar to mud cracks. These formations are comparable to the Pa Kaew rock layers found in the Khao Noi area. The site is rich in fossils, including a variety of marine species such as brachiopods (bivalve mollusks), graptolites, and small marine creatures with markings resembling scratches on the rock surface.
