What is documented here?

CGWB identifies a small upper-Siwalik exposure on the northeastern fringe of Chandigarh; this point is a generalized non-navigable geologic context.

Can you collect here?

Geology/research context only; public specimen-collecting access is not established.

The cited source documents geology or sediment context, but does not establish a general public right to collect specimens.

Before visiting

A documented geological exposure is not collecting permission. Chandigarh contains reserve forests, Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary, urban public land, drainage corridors and regulated mineral/sand contexts. Verify current land status, Forest/Wildlife restrictions and site-specific authority before removing any rock, fossil, sand, gravel, clay or other material.
