A group of researchers on Sunday claimed that it had found evidence that the primitive humans living in the Narmada valley thousands of years ago used the fossils of dinosaurs to make weapons.
Vishal Verma of Mangal Panchayat Parishad,
a group which undertakes archaeological excavations in the area, said
that eight weapons of this kind were found in the neighbouring Dhar district during a recent expedition.
They included an axe, and something resembling a blade.
He
said presumably the primitive humans were not aware that "stones" out
of which they were fashioning weapons were actually fossils.
