recently
The Chongqing 208 Institute of Geological Site Protection found one
Suspected to be the oldest stegosaurus fossil group in Chongqing
Dr. Zhang Feng of the Institute said
This time the discovery
"Again" thanks to Teacher Wu."
Teacher Wu, who is it?
Wu deposit
56-year-old librarian at The Western University Library
Known as the "Fossil Hunter"
Because in addition to going to work
He was either looking for fossils or on his way
Chongqing has made many major fossil discoveries, all of which are related to him
From loving stones to loving fossils
At the beginning
Teacher Wu just likes to be by the river
Look for some nice stones, gloomy wood, etc
In 2007, he learned by chance that many fossils were dying out
Since then, he has begun to look for fossils and preserve fossils
And obsessed with fossils, he couldn't help himself
Learn about fossils
Wu Dingjin has its own method
Read all the relevant fossil books and websites
Every time you go to a city
Will go to the local fossil museum (Geological Museum)
I can't see it for myself
I also go through the museum's collections on the webpage

Fossil searches in the wild are often injured
Look for fossils in the wild
Knowledge composition is essential
But the hardware equipment also has to keep up
Shovel, tape measure, SLR, compass, pen and paper.......
Sometimes it's a group of people who go together
But a lot of times, he goes alone
Whether it's windy or rainy, or the sun is like fire
He insisted
Look for fossils in the wild
The brain is not enough, and the physical strength is very good
The reef is slippery, the road is difficult to navigate, the climb is bumpy and potholed
Falling down and twisting is a common thing
It is not unusual to hang a color scar
By now he was on his ankles
There is also a clear scar imprint
But
It's not a thing
In teacher Wu's eyes
Finding fossils is the key
"The Hunter" and his good helper
Ten times to find fossils, nine and a half times failed
Everywhere you go
Wu Dingjin will develop several local villagers as "informants"
Where suspected fossil stones were found
The "informant" will tell him the first time
In the course of time
Wu Dingjin found some rules
Fossils can easily be found at the construction site of the road, or the site of the construction site
Because large-scale excavations will expose fossils
Besides
It is a reef area along the river
It is easy to bring fossils because of the erosion of large waters
(ps: if you want to become a fossil "hunter", you should remember it well)
Sunbathing the harvest of the "hunter"
Many major discoveries of Chongqing fossils are related to Wu Dingjin
Silicified wood was first discovered in Chongqing
The first fossil of ancient neo-reed wood has been found
The first permian wood fossils have been found
.....
Little Bukop time
Permian wood fossils
From the Permian period, 250 million years ago
At least 50 million years before dinosaurs
Wood fossils are formed mainly from trees millions of years ago or earlier
After being quickly buried underground for various reasons
The organic part is exchanged for silica in groundwater to become a tree fossil
Wood fossils preserve the wood structure, external form and texture of the tree
Because the texture of some wood fossils shows a jade texture
Also known as tree jade or silicified wood
Ancient neo-reed fossils
The new reed wood has long been extinct, and the fossils are 100 million years old
For the study of the geology and geo-climate of the Chongqing area
The process of reproduction and demise of some plants is of great significance

It has become an inherent way of life
