In addition to the cinema, Hefei can also meet dinosaurs here

Anhui Huangshan Long Fossil (Restore) at the gate of the Provincial Geological Museum (recovery)

Parents are explaining dinosaurs for their children

Recently, "Jurassic World 3" was released, and a "dinosaur whirlwind" again. Many people don't know that in addition to seeing dinosaurs on the big screen, we can also go offline to find dinosaur fossils, let us understand the mystery of prehistoric life. On June 28, the reporter came to the Geological Museum of Anhui Province to take everyone to explore the story behind the "local dragons" unearthed in Anhui and the famous Chaohuyu Dragon.

The two dinosaur sculptures at the entrance of the Provincial Geological Museum are "local dragons"

Speaking of the Provincial Geological Museum, the people who have been there may be impressed, and the two tall dinosaur sculptures at the entrance look ahead. In fact, these two dinosaur sculptures were restored by Huangshan Dragon Fossils excavated in Anhui Province. At present, scientific researchers of the Provincial Geological Museum have studied naming fossils related to dinosaurs such as Huangshan Dragons, Bo Anhui Dragon, and Xiu Ning umbrella eggs.

"Look at this bone, is it similar to the chicken wings we eat in a fast food restaurant? This is the humerus, ulnar and radius of the dinosaur. Simply put, it is the bone on the arms." Some of the bone fossils of the Huangshan Dragons and Di Bo Anhui Dragons displayed in the middle came from the arm of the dinosaur. This batch of dinosaur fossils came from Jizue Mountain, Wangcun Town, Yixian County, Huangshan City.

Anhui area is one of the main producing areas of dinosaur fossils in my country

"Most of the dinosaur fossils in Anhui are found in southern Anhui, and they are also one of the main producing areas of dinosaur fossils in my country. It is a rare in the world." The formation conditions of the formation of fossils (bones), relics (footprints, skin) and relics (eggs, eggs, feces) are different. It is very rare to be concentrated in small areas such as Huangshan-Xiu Ning. It is very rare. Essence

Among them, three places for bone fossils: the beast -footed dinosaurs found in Xintan of Tunxi -Xiu Ninglong, Xintan; the swollen head dragon found in the underpurbus village of Yanti -South Wannan Dragon; Huangshan Dragon and Anhui Dragon found. There are three types of eggs: oval eggs, long -shaped eggs, and auxiliary honeycomb eggs. There are 4 footprint fossil concentration zones.

In the Dinosaur Hall of the Provincial Geological Museum, two dragons from the Yan Temple in Huangshan attracted the attention of reporters. Both skulls and jaws were very small, and a huge contrast with the tall Bingling Dalong Dragon Fossil in the exhibition hall. Mao Lei introduced, don't look at the southern Anhui Dragon in the Rock Temple, but it is the first dinosaur fossil discovered in our province. In 1968, it was discovered in Xiaoshixia Village, Huizhou District, Huangshan City.

"The southern Anhui Dragon of Yan Temple lived more than 80 million years ago. It was a dinosaur that was implanted and walking in both feet." Its skull protrusions are swollen head dragons. At the same time, it can be used as a tool for female spouses.

Efforts to build Anhui Chaohu Dragon Animal Group and Geological Environment Monitoring Field Base

It is worth mentioning that the Chaohu Dragon Fossils found in Hefei are also internationally renowned. On the first floor of the Provincial Geological Museum, the nest of fish and dragon fossils that can be called the "treasure of the town".

Dr. Ma Zhaoliang of the Provincial Geological Museum told reporters that the Chaohu Dragon Animal Group is one of the unique paleontological resources in Anhui Province. Multi -class creatures such as shells and limb animals. The geological age is the early three overlap Olynik period, which is about 248 million years.

The fossil is preserved in the mudstone layer of the Nanling Lake Group in the early three stackers of Chaohu Lake. The coexistence of sea and land in Anhui area in the early three stacks continued the ancient geographical pattern of the North China North Hailu at the end of the two -stack. At that time, the Chaohu area was at the northernmost edge of the Yangtze Sea, which was close to the ancient land. Convenient conditions.

"The earliest fossils were reported by the famous geologists and paleontologists in my country and his student Dong Zhiming in 1972." Ma Zhaoliang said that with the gradual deepening of the research of the Chaohu Dragon Animal Group and the discovery of a large number of precious specimens, 2016, 2016, 2016, 2016, 2016, 2016, 2016, 2016, 2016, 2016, 2016, 2016, 2016 In the year, Chaohu Long found that the Malaysia -Pingdingshan area was successfully declared as a national key protection of antique fossils.

Ma Zhaoliang revealed that in order to strictly protect the unique geological treasures of Chaohu, the Provincial Geological Museum collaborates with the Chaohu Scenic Area Management Committee and the Chaohu Self -Regulations.

The geological age found internationally

The earliest fish and dragon came from the Lake

In 2011, Dr. Huang Jiandong of the Provincial Geological Museum led the researchers in Chaohujia Mountain in Chaohu Lake. Although the individual of this specimen is small, the bones are heavy, the kiss is shrinking and short, the forelimb is relatively large, the wrist can bend and support the body like a seal. The researchers named it soft wrist short kiss dragon.

Studies have found that the Rou wrist short kiss dragon is the earliest fish dragon in the world found in the world. It is in an amphibious transitional state of water and land. It is mainly aquatic. Aquatic evolution blank. Related research results were published in the British natural magazine in 2014, causing widespread attention from academic circles at home and abroad.

"Since 2010, our museum has conducted systematic investigations, rescue excavations and preliminary research on the Chaohu Animal Group with many universities at home and abroad.Ma Zhaoliang introduced that these studies not only greatly deepened the academic world's understanding of early crawled animals, but also greatly promoted the research progress of the origin and early evolution of international Haisheng crawling categories.All media reporter Shao Xiaojie, a trainee, Zhu Khan Xiangwen/Correspondent Yu Shiming
