The Origin of China Traditional Culture Yanzishi Fossil Fossils

A large number of trilobite fossils have been discovered very early. Trilobites were born in CAMBRIAN 500 million years ago and became extinct in Mesozoic, ruling the ocean for 300 million years. After the vicissitudes of nature, the remains of these trilobites have become fossils, and their shapes and postures are like flying swallows, so people call this kind of stone "Yanzishi Fossil Fossil".

Shengjing area in Laiwu is one of the areas with the richest fossil reserves in Yanzishi Fossil, China, with high quality. Yanzishi Fossil fossil chips are mostly dark green and light green, with purple-brown in the middle; Insect fossils are yellowish in color, protruding from the stone surface, generally 2 cm to 4 cm in size, with lifelike wings and feathers, resembling swallows and flying bats; The stone is delicate and deep as jade, and the sound of copper tapping and stroking is like congealing fat. Mr. Fan Ceng, a famous contemporary painter, once wrote a poem for the Yanzishi Fossil fossils in Laiwu: "The fossils have sunk for hundreds of millions of years, and the swallows have entered the residual marks. Collapse, no fire, it created the soul of chaos. "

Yanzishi Fossil fossils are not only precious materials for studying paleontology, but also unique ornamental stones and technological raw materials.
