During the Northern Song Dynasty, Shen Kuo, a scientist, inspected the Taihang Mountains during his inspection in 1074 AD. He carefully observed that the mountain rocks were mixed with a large number of marine animal fossils, which all showed a band-like sedimentary form, thus deducing that this was once the coastal coast of the East China Sea, and made scientific inferences about it, which were recorded and described in his famous work "Mengxi Pen Talk".
On the afternoon of July 13, huixian tribe received feedback from netizens:
Uncle Hao, a sheep herder in Shanglu Village, Baiquan Town, Huixian City, found a number of fossils of unknown creatures on the Changlingtou Mountain behind the village, and also found a variety of stones of unknown material, and wanted to seek identification of relevant people who have studied this aspect through the Huixian tribe and help them solve their doubts.
fossil?
Stone of unknown material?
Xiaobian heard that this was not a good thing, so he quickly set off with his colleagues, came to Shanglu Village, and found Uncle Hao!
From the photos, we can clearly see that the two stones are inlaid with fossils suspected of vertebrae, which can be seen more clearly after wetting with water, and the size is about 10 cm and 8 cm respectively.
Uncle Hao said that this is not a big deal, in the past, when sheep were herded, they could often find all kinds of similar fossil stones on their Changlingtou Mountain. Once he found a larger one, but he couldn't move it, and now he couldn't remember where it was, but there was another one that was particularly easy to find, just in the middle of the mountain road to Changlingtou Mountain. At our request, Uncle Hao promised to take us to check it out.
After ten minutes away
We came to the position that Uncle Hao said,

The fossil is located on a large rock in the middle of a rugged mountain road. I don't understand this, but I can see that it is indeed very much like a fossil. After querying and comparing, it is very similar to an ancient invertebrate "Lederiki worm" (editors can not be sure), this insect has a large head and a small tail; the head saddle is narrow and wide, and it is tapered; the eyes are long and crescent-shaped. It is one of the most common fossils in the Early Cambrian strata of Asia and Oceania.
When he learned about the situation at Uncle Hao's house, he also introduced to us that on their mountains they often found a kind of yellow-brown stone that looked like meat and not meat, and this stone they locals did not know what it was called, and they would often pick it up and put it on the wall of the sheep pen yard, and the sheep dealers who came to buy sheep would often choose to take a few pieces, but everyone said that they did not know what kind of stone it was.
Xiaobian carefully observed that this stone is translucent, with a variety of patterns distributed on it, some like clouds, some like Ganoderma lucidum, the layers are clear, the color is heavy or light, but in the impression, it is indeed the first time to see this stone.
When talking about stones, Uncle Hao told us that his relative Uncle Zhang in his village was once a stone carver, and once when he smashed open a large stone, he found that the middle was black and empty, and then dug out a golden crystalline stone in the middle of the big stone, and they took it to the gold shop in the city for people to identify, and the gold shop did not identify it, and then he took us to his relative Uncle Zhang's home.
In Uncle Zhang's home, he showed us several other unknown material stones he found, some golden, some pink, and some black and red, if there are friends who study this kind, you may wish to look at the pictures below, and write a message at the end of the article for everyone to popularize science.
By inquiring about the relevant information, Xiaobian feels that this golden stone is very similar to a stone called "gold ore".
Uncle Hao and Uncle Zhang said that they had lived in Shanglu Village all their lives, accompanied by Changlingtou Mountain day and night, and had a strong affection for these colorful and strange stones. Although they do not understand these strange stones from a professional level, they like these stones from the bottom of their hearts, and they play with them while playing with them in their leisure time.
These stones are a strange and romantic mystery to the villagers, and everyone is looking forward to the day when the mystery that haunts Changlingtou Mountain will be revealed. If you have research on geology, biology, etc., or are interested in these strange stones, please write a message at the end of the article to actively participate in the discussion.
