The treasure

1. The largest fossil wall of dragon footprints

The dragon footprint of the Beilin Dahe Life Museum of Wuhan Nature Museum is 15.3m long and 8m wide, covering an area of 120m2, which is rare in China.

Dragon is a general term for reptiles, including dinosaurs, in paleontology. Footprint fossils are "close-ups" recorded by nature for vertebrate activities with natural video recorders, and the conditions for their formation and preservation are very stringent. But the relic seems to reproduce the scene of chasing and fighting between animals 200 million years ago, with "dragons" walking by the lake, fish flying at the shallow bottom, and arthropods crawling, which is an important data for deciphering the evolution of vertebrates in the late Triassic.

two。 Longest silicified wood

The silicified wood of the Beilin Dahe Life Museum of the Wuhan Nature Museum was unearthed in Qitai County, Xinjiang, and was made from tall trees of the Jurassic period. The tree shape is well preserved, the wood structure is clear, the total length is about 37 meters, and the maximum diameter of the root is 2.7m. It is extremely spectacular and is the longest silicified wood on display in the Chinese Museum.

Silicified wood, a general name for fossil trees, was mostly formed in the Jurassic period 130 million years ago. After the ancient trees such as pine and cypress and ginkgo were buried by sediments, after a long process of fossilization, they were filled and replaced by minerals such as silicon dioxide or calcium carbonate and iron sulfide, forming silicified wood.
