Mehrangarh ridge (MGR) of Jodhpur, situated in north western part of India, is endowed with wide variety of Georesource of volcanic rocks of Malani Igneous Suite (MIS) of Cryogenian age and overlying Jodhpur Group (JG) of Ediacaran age belonging to Marwar Supergroup (MSG). MIS is the third largest, felsic, anorogenic, and terrestrial volcanic province of the world that witnessed Pan African orogeny related to the splitting of Rodinia Supercontinent. Unique and rare volcanic features of MIS at MGR have been declared as the National Geological Monuments of India with its interface with JG. The suite of fluvio-deltaic to coastal sediments of JG at MGR preserved text book style sedimentary structures with rich assemblage of oldest and complex Ediacaran fossils. MIS and JG altogether at MGR constitute the strato-type sections and outdoor geological museums in India that display geological processes of about 200 million years of Earth’s history. Such records of past tectonics, climates, and environments characterize the land-sea interaction and distribution in this part of Eastern Gondwana land that represent global geodiversity and provide eminent narratives for geo-education. However, these relict volcanic and sedimentary Georesources though formed site-specific landforms of MGR but have received less attention towards their geoheritage values. MGR is also endowed with many archaeological heritage monuments (HM) with additional cultural values that are constructed by indigenous Heritage Stone Resources (HSR) of JG. The HM represents old patronage of Jodhpur since medieval time that makes it a famous tourist destination of the world. In absence of geotourism applications and infrastructures in India, efforts are made under present study to provide suitable qualitative methodologies to identify geosites and assess geoheritage of educational and geotourism values taking MGR as a case study. Based on the proposed methodologies, we propose twelve geosites of geological, geomorphological, and archaeological types of geoheritage at MGR. These significant geosites of the Cryogenian—Ediacaran successions should be conserved as important geoheritage sites for geotourism through the proposed Geopark at MGR in Jodhpur.

梅兰加尔焦特布尔山脊（MGR）位于印度西北部，拥有丰富多样的低温纪马拉尼火成岩组（MIS）火山岩地质资源，上覆属于马尔瓦尔超群的埃迪卡拉纪焦特布尔群（JG）（味精）。MIS 是世界第三大长英质、造山带和陆地火山省，见证了与罗迪尼亚超大陆分裂相关的泛非造山运动。MGR 的 MIS 独特而罕见的火山特征已被宣布为印度国家地质纪念碑，其与 JG 的接口。MGR 的 JG 的河流-三角洲到沿海沉积物保留了教科书式的沉积结构，其中包含丰富的最古老和复杂的埃迪卡拉纪化石。MGR 的 MIS 和 JG 共同构成了印度的层状剖面和户外地质博物馆，展示了大约 2 亿年地球历史的地质过程。此类过去构造、气候和环境的记录描述了冈瓦纳东部这部分土地的海陆相互作用和分布，这些记录代表了全球地质多样性，并为地理教育提供了卓越的叙述。然而，这些残留的火山和沉积地质资源虽然形成了MGR的特定地点地貌，但对其地质遗产价值的关注较少。MGR 还拥有许多由 JG 的土著遗产石材资源 (HSR) 建造的具有额外文化价值的考古遗产纪念碑 (HM)。HM 代表了焦特布尔自中世纪以来的古老赞助，这使其成为世界著名的旅游目的地。在印度缺乏地质旅游应用和基础设施的情况下，本研究正在努力提供合适的定性方法，以 MGR 作为案例研究来识别地质遗址并评估教育和地质旅游价值的地质遗产。基于所提出的方法，我们在 MGR 提出了 12 个地质、地貌和考古类型的地质遗迹。这些 Cryogenian-Ediacaran 序列的重要地质遗址应通过拟建的焦特布尔 MGR 地质公园作为重要的地质旅游地质遗址加以保护。目前的研究正在努力提供合适的定性方法，以 MGR 作为案例研究来识别地质遗址并评估教育和地质旅游价值的地质遗产。基于所提出的方法，我们在 MGR 提出了 12 个地质、地貌和考古类型的地质遗迹。这些 Cryogenian-Ediacaran 序列的重要地质遗址应通过拟建的焦特布尔 MGR 地质公园作为重要的地质旅游地质遗址加以保护。目前的研究正在努力提供合适的定性方法，以 MGR 作为案例研究来识别地质遗址并评估教育和地质旅游价值的地质遗产。基于所提出的方法，我们在 MGR 提出了 12 个地质、地貌和考古类型的地质遗迹。这些 Cryogenian-Ediacaran 序列的重要地质遗址应通过拟建的焦特布尔 MGR 地质公园作为重要的地质旅游地质遗址加以保护。
