“…In modern practice, it is usually birds and turtles that are released (Shiu & Stokes, 2008). In Indian mythology, turtles are revered as kurma, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu (Shiu & Stokes, 2008;Panigrahy et al, 2002), and are a symbol of stability (Miller, 1974).

This article traces the consilience of science and mythology in the history of fossil research in India: this is a narrative in which Indian fossil research met the Orientalist discovery of the Indian past. It demonstrates that in exploring the geological evolution of Indian fossils, British researchers such as Hugh Falconer invoked animals from thePuranas, picking up on a tradition of mythological hermeneutics first developed in India by the likes of William Jones. In exploring the nuances of this intellectual approach, the article thus identifies a hitherto obscured historical trajectory regarding the making of geology in colonial India.
