The discovery of ocean bed fossils embedded in sedimentary rock atop Mount Everest provides compelling evidence of geological uplift (Wickrema, 2024). At this remarkable location, you can find an abundance of brachiopods, broken shell fragments, crinoids, and trilobite fossils. Approximately 470 million years ago, the shallow Tethys Ocean was a thriving marine ecosystem. As these hard-shelled organisms perished, their remains gradually settled on the ocean floor. Over time, they were buried by sediment, compacted, and eventually formed limestone. Around 50 million years ago, the Indian subcontinent began its collision with the Eurasian plate. This monumental tectonic event caused the Eurasian plate, along with vast deposits of limestone, to be thrust upward, while the Indian plate subducted beneath it. Over millions of years, the ongoing uplift gave rise to the towering Himalayas. Erosion and faulting eventually stripped away the uppermost layers, revealing these ancient marine fossils in the limestone at Earth's highest summit.
