Dinosaur Fossil Found in Shandong


    When it comes to dinosaurs and the Cretaceous period, it feels like a very distant thing. Walking into the Cretaceous National Geopark in Laiyang, Shandong Province, you can have a close experience of the development and extinction history of dinosaurs from ancient times to ancient times.


    As soon as you enter the Cretaceous National Geological Park in Laiyang, Shandong Province, you are shocked by the huge specimens of Konglong in the museum. What natural changes did this ancient creature, once known as the master of the Earth, undergo before it became extinct from the earth? Laiyang Cretaceous National Geopark is located in Laiyang, Shandong Province, which has the reputation of "the hometown of dinosaurs in China". Here, the first dinosaur fossil was excavated in New China, and many precious dinosaur fossils and dinosaur egg fossils were found. Let's walk into here and slowly understand the development history of dinosaurs.


    Walking into the site of the restoration of dinosaur fossils, you can see a lot of local dinosaur fossils on the shelves, if you go back 6,500 years, these giants, certainly would not have thought that their fossils could be preserved after so many years.


    The Cretaceous National Geopark is the only Cretaceous National Geopark in Jiaodong area. More than ten deeply cut dinosaur canyons were found in the plain around the excavation site of Jinjangkou in Laiyang. The excavated fossils need to be carefully restored by professional staff for a long time and slowly restored. To reassemble it into a complete dinosaur fossil.


    Here I also saw a complete fossilized dinosaur egg, which is very rare and was first discovered in 1859 in the Cretaceous strata of Provence in southern France. Dinosaur egg fossil size disparity, small and duck egg is about the same, the smallest diameter of less than 10 centimeters, looking at the sense is very magical.


    This is a dinosaur fossil seen at the excavation site, and this kind of archaeological excavation, you can also participate in, with the workers, from the excavation to the pulping, think about the 65 million years ago dinosaur close contact, such a mysterious and special experience.
