The International Paleontological Association establishes the International Stone Day in October each year. The "International Stone Day" was established to strengthen the public's understanding and understanding of fossils and protect precious fossil resources. Through the commemoration of "International Stone Day", we will promote the scientific research and popularization of paleontological fossils and raise the awareness of the public on the protection of natural resources and paleontological fossils.

Recently, the Fifth National Geological Paleontology Symposium was held in Inner Mongolia, and at the same time, as the main commemoration event of this year's "International Stone Day" in Inner Mongolia. Let's walk into the Museum of Nature and say hello to the fossils.
