While North America has an established reputation as a fossil hotspot, particularly on account of its rich dinosaur finds, fossil localities in other parts of the world have not always enjoyed the same degree of visibility, notwithstanding their scientific significance. This paper draws attention to the Indian subcontinent\u2019s rich fossil heritage and documents the global entanglements of palaeontology in colonial and post-colonial South Asia. It discusses in particular the contexts that framed efforts to collect, exchange, study and preserve fossils from the Indian subcontinent as well as the individual and institutional actors involved therein. The discussion draws on research conducted in the archives and fossil collections at the Yale Peabody Museum, the Palaeontological Collection at the University of T\u00fcbingen and the Tohoku University Museum.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chstm.manchester.ac.uk\/connect\/seminars\/\">CHSTM Research Seminar Programme<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Seminar Convenors: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.research.manchester.ac.uk\/portal\/ian.a.burney.html\">Professor Ian Burney<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.research.manchester.ac.uk\/portal\/neil.pemberton.html\">Dr Neil Pemberton<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=&#8221;off&#8221;
