Fowler Avenue NES 107, Tampa, Florida 33620-5250, USA https://orcid.org/0009-0001-1525-093X Journal Article 2026 05 30 Kolah Qazi National Park preserves a diverse assemblage of stratigraphic and paleontological features, which attract both scientists and visitors. The park hosts twelve unique geosites, each revealing different chapters of Earth’s history through well-preserved fossils and distinctive stratigraphy. Highlights include evidence of the Albian Oceanic Anoxic Event, a major paleoceanographic perturbation, and newly identified seep carbonates. These features position Kolah Qazi as a strong candidate for national geopark designation. Such recognition would formally acknowledge its geological significance and enhance its role in education, research, and structured geotourism development while supporting effective conservation management.
