The predecessor of Shanxi Geological Museum was the Geological Museum of Shanxi Geological Department, which was founded in 1960, and was later renamed Shanxi Geology and Mineral Resources Exhibition Hall and Shanxi Geology and Mineral Resources Museum. Adjacent to the Shanxi Museum, the museum is divided into four themed exhibition halls: Through Time and Space - Earth Hall, Ancient Species - Paleontology Hall, Earth Treasure - Mineral Hall, Wuhua Tianbao - Mineral Hall.

Too much to play in the second phase
Dibo 4F watch "Dinosaur His Grandpa"
Explore the Shanxi Geological Museum The treasure of the town hall is Dinosaur Grandpa #Too Play Youth
If the destination is less than ten kilometers from home, why not take a walk-and-go trip.
Some people say that visiting a museum cannot be counted as a trip, and this trip to the dibo is not only a trip, but also a time trip spanning hundreds of millions of years.
Treasure of the Town Hall 01
Fossil specimen of Shanxi crocodile in Shanxi
The Shanxi Crocodile specimen was newly discovered in the Triassic strata along the Yellow River in 2010, which is the most completely preserved skeleton in the world, and is regarded as the star exhibit of Dibo.
It has nothing to do with crocodiles, which once lived in the Triassic Period 240 million years ago, is a branch of the evolution of primitive Primordial Dragons, in a sense, even the ancestors of dinosaurs, that is, the grandfather of dinosaurs........
(Shanxi Shanxi crocodile model)
Shanxi Shanxi crocodile was a top predator at that time. Don't look at the huge body, the action is very fast, the hand is still very good, the best is ambush, amphibious, vast world, great achievements.
Treasure of the Town Hall 02
Dog head gold
This piece of dog head gold is also known as the "North China Golden Toad", so named because of its resemblance to a toad. It is produced in the Lingqiu County, Datong City, weighing 425 grams, the purity of more than 90%, is the largest piece found and preserved in Shanxi Province since the history of the record. It is the gold in the rock that is deforested, transported, and finally deposited and aggregated in the gravel layer of the river beach downstream of the gold mine under the comprehensive geological action of surface fluids.
After watching it for half a day, it was really quite moving, but Mo stretched out his hand, and he would be caught.
Ancient species
The Paleontology Hall is definitely a favorite place for children.
I promise, this is definitely not a fossil of a Digimon Tyrannosaurus beast.
This row of hand-made guys is called Oshima Kohorn.
This is a 220 million-year-old sea lily that resembles a plant, but is actually an echinoderm.
When I see a dinosaur egg, I always think about what it tastes like to eat, and whether the dinosaur egg is not fried or not is also very delicious.
Interesting people in the museum
Elevator up and down, elderly welfare.
The most interesting thing about Dibo is this area, children can DIY dinosaurs by themselves, and then the uncle of the museum casts the dinosaur with your name on the wall, I want to try it.
Who said that only children like to watch dinosaurs, grandparents may have a fantasy about "Jurassic Park".
What was also surprising to me was that this intelligent robot could take me to visit the Paleontological Hall, but no one noticed his presence, and I played with him for an afternoon, and the robot also needed to accompany him.
This child is too serious, actually holding a small book.
The consequence of telling too many dinosaur stories is, "Daddy don't sleep on the weekend, take me to see baby dragons."
It may be that I have watched the dog head gold for too long, and the security brother has been staring at me all the way.
The old guy's activity place is not limited to the square, and it is also a good choice to come to Dibo to find memories.
Behind every piece of beauty there is always someone silently guarding.
No matter how bright the light is, you have to wipe the glass clean to see the true face of the treasure.
What is the biggest benefit of bringing children to Dibo?
Not only are tickets free, there are no toys to buy yet!
The advantage of a (male) person visiting the exhibition is that there is no (female) person urging.
Treasures of the Earth
Shanxi is rich in minerals, but the one you see the most is coal.
This amethyst looks good, but it always feels a little tacky, and you think you are an upstart at home, but in fact, you are just an upside-down crystal.
The abundance of iron ore also makes Shanxi's iron smelting technology have a long history, remember the Yellow River big iron cattle?
This is a Tang Dynasty iron bull made before 1296, cast to stabilize the Pujin pontoon bridge and maintain the traffic of Qin and Jin.
Don't say that this silver ore is also sparkling, no more than gold but also a treasure.
Eating soil in Shanxi for decades, I don't know if the soil of the Upper Cenozoic is a taste of cotton.
Mountains and rivers Birds and animals in the forest
According to the Zuo Biography, the State of Jin fought against the State of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. The Jin people proudly say that we have a large mountain (Taihang Mountain) running through us, and the Yellow River as a barrier outside. Even if we can't defeat the Chu people and come back from defeat, we can still rely on the "Table Mountain River" to defend, which is the earliest source of the Table Mountain River.
Shanxi is located in the eastern part of the Loess Plateau, China's second-class terrace, at an altitude of around 1,000 to 2,000 meters. In its easternmost part, the Taihang Mountains stretch from the northeast and extend southwards, and the Lüliang Mountains stretch from north to south in the west. Between these two mountain ranges is a series of fault basins that stretch from northeast to southwest, of which the five major basins such as Datong Basin, Xinding Basin, Taiyuan Basin, Linfen Basin and Yuncheng Basin are the most numerous. These mountains and the numerous basins between the two mountains have made Shanxi form a unique landform of "two mountains and one river". And around these two mountains and rivers is the mother river that rushes from the sky- the Yellow River.
Due to the landform of Shanxi's "Biaoli Mountains and Rivers", Shanxi has become a unique existence of China's administrative divisions. It is also the only province in China that has not changed much in thousands of years.
Luya Mountain, Cang'erhui, Taihang Grand Canyon, Qinhe Wetland..... There are still many great rivers in Shanxi waiting for you to discover.
Don't say, there are really many good birds in the forests of Shanxi!
I've seen wild brown horse chickens at Luya Mountain, don't brag!
