Bijie coal, plants more plant fossils the probability of larger, it can be said that Bijie is the "palace" of plant fossils.
We have found hundreds of varieties of plant fossils, including ferns such as scaled wood, thin bark wood, hui wood, and reed wood from 250 million years ago, as well as pine cypress, aquatic grass, and moss from tens of millions of years ago. Among them, there are rods, leaves, roots, skins, flowers, fruits, etc.
There are dozens of leaf fossils. Generally speaking, leaves are easy to decay and not easy to form fossils, but there are many bijie leaf fossils, which may be more plant fossils, and leaf fossils are correspondingly more.
Figure 1, fossil cycad leaves, found in Xiejiawan, Xiaohe Village, Daxinqiao Office, Qixingguan District.
Cycad is an evergreen woody plant with a thick trunk, cylindrical shape, the most primitive family of seed plants in existence, and its fossils have been found in the Carboniferous strata, most prosperous in the late Triassic and early Jurassic periods.
Figure 2, fossil leaves of sheep tooth, found in Xiejiawan, Xiaohe Village, Daxinqiao Office, Qixingguan District.
The fern is a fern with pinnate leaves that live in the Permian tropical-subtropical rainforest and have traits ranging from vine climbing to shrub and small trees.
Figure 3, The back of the leaves of ferns, found in He Guantun, Qixingguan District.
The back of the fossil is covered with spores, which are the seeds of this plant. Ferns are overwhelmingly herbaceous, and the tall woody ferns on Earth were once thriving, and only a few woody ferns have survived due to climate and geological changes.
Figure 4, Fossil leaves of reed wood, found in Lingfeng Temple, Qixingguan District.
Reed is a genus of wedge-leaved plants, woody, up to 20-30 m tall, stem segmentation, knots and nodes, Distributed around the world from the Middle Carboniferous to the Permian.
Figure 5, cactus leaf fossils, found in the Qixingguan District Ofverted Tianhe Reservoir.
We also found dozens of tree pole fossils.
Figure 6, Thin Bark Wood Fossil, found in Daxinqiao Office, Qixingguan District.
Fossils of thin bark wood appear in late Devonian deposits.
Figure 7, Fossil scale wood, found on the street of Heguantun Town, Qixingguan District.
Scale wood is one of the most representative trees in ancient times, appeared in the Carboniferous, Permian, arbor-like, and many tropical swamp plants co-breeding in tropical swamp areas, forming forests, is an important coal-forming raw material of the Carboniferous and Permian, and is also one of the rations of ancient vegetarian animals.
Figure 8, fossils of Hui wood, found in Heguantun Town, Qixingguan District.
Huimu is a fern that grows in the Permian period about 200 million years ago and is more than 10 meters tall. It grows luxuriantly and is a coal-forming plant. There are octagonal wood, hexagonal wood. The octagonal wood grain is bagua-shaped, and some temples worship their fossils as sacred trees.
Figure 9, a fossil of a wood thief, found in Qingfeng, Changchun Town, Qixingguan District.
Wood thieves appeared in the Late Devonian period and flourished in the Jurassic period. In the low-lying swamp environment, it evolved a fast-growing plant type similar to bamboo, which can be as high as 15 m and more than 25 cm in diameter, and most of it died out after the Permian as the climate dried up.
