A geologist from Istanbul Technical University has claimed that fossils on some 145-million-year-old stones used at the base of the Republic Monument, a notable monument located at Istanbul's Taksim Square, have come to the surface.

"When you look at the monument, you can see fossils clearly," Serkan Angı, who is also a natural stone specialist, told daily Hürriyet on March 15.
