FfFfFfFF 58,125 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 The Department of Mineral Resources of Thailand confirmed ammonite fossils found embedded in the walkways of Siam Square shopping mall in Bangkok are real. Department director general Poongboon Pongthong has assigned geologist Adulwit Kaweera of the Fossil Protection Division to head a team to examine the shopping mall after a Facebook user posted photos of the fossils she took while walking through Siam Square on her Facebook page. Mr Adulwit's team found a total of 77 pieces of the fossils along both sides of Soi Siam Square. The ammonite fossils were scattered in the walkways for a distance of about 400 metres -- 28 pieces on the left side and 49 on the right. The fossils were 2 to 12 centimetres in size and mostly found in front of shops and above stairways. Around two years ago, the footpath was repaired, as per local media reports. The shells may have been placed into the concrete as a decoration by the contractors.
