October 25th, designated as National Fossil Day through the efforts of the Iranian Paleontological Society, is a valuable opportunity to take a deeper look at the remarkable records of ancient life preserved in the timeless land of Iran.
This treasure trove of Earth’s history, embedded within the rock layers across our vast homeland, tells the story of millions of years of life’s evolution and the transformations of our planet.

Fossils are not only the key to understanding the evolution of organisms and past climatic changes, but they also play a decisive role in vital discoveries such as valuable hydrocarbon and mineral resources, forming one of the main pillars of modern Earth sciences.

Thus, this day stands as an official invitation to the broader Iranian community to join a scientific and cultural movement aimed at promoting paleontological knowledge and emphasizing its crucial applications in understanding Earth’s history and the wise use of natural resources.
