400 million years ago, Qujing was a wide shallow sea, and thousands of fish species were the main body of life in this area. In addition to the dream ghost fish, the initial whole jaw fish, which fill the missing links in the evolutionary chain of "fish to man" and are of great significance to the evolution of life, this area also lives one of the representative taxa of the Devonian fish era - the eyes and nostrils of the overhead periscope, the bulky long box-shaped torso and the membranous bone-wrapped pectoral fin, which is the Longhuashan rice fish with a rice-shaped ornament on the back of the body armor. Wu Qi's children will use the way of painting today to give you a popularization of this magical creature.
Longhua mountain rice fish is not only unique in appearance, but also has important evolutionary significance. Carapacefish have only a pair of pectoral fins, similar to arthropod appendages, and the unique pectoral fins and bulky armor limit its swimming ability to some extent, but they will use the pectoral fins to bury their torso into the sand, leaving only periscope-like eyes to observe the enemy. The back armor of the Longhua Mountain rice fish has a pattern of regular arrangement of "rice" characters, which makes it stand out among the carapace fish in the same water and swim in the fashionable front end of this water. The ornaments presented by the fossil material are an important classification basis for paleontologists, and researcher Zhu Min, a famous paleontologist in China, named it Longhuashan Rice Fish, giving the public a proprietary business card to understand and remember itself.
