Strictly speaking, Tyrannosaurus rex has nothing to do with Jurassic. The Jurassic is a geological epoch about 200 million to 150 million years ago, and the Tyrannosaurus rex was born at the end of the Cretaceous Period, 68.5 million years ago, when the extinction of the dinosaurs was just over two million years away.
If you want to talk about the real "Jurassic Park", it is our Sichuan Zigong Dinosaur Museum.
The Jurassic era was a period when the dinosaur dynasty began to flourish, and at this time, the dominant herbivorous dinosaurs on the earth were various herbivorous dinosaurs, and carnivorous dinosaurs were generally small. In Zigong, Sichuan, there is direct evidence of the Jurassic era, which is called a "dinosaur cemetery" by paleontologists because of the huge number of Jurassic dinosaur fossils.
The specific location of the Zigong Dinosaur Museum, very close to Zigong City, is 9 kilometers northeast of the center of Zigong, which was built on the basis of the dinosaur fossil site and covers an area of more than 60,000 square meters. It includes almost all known dinosaur fossils from the Jurassic era, and is one of the world's three largest dinosaur museums, and one of the most valuable for research.
Dinosaur fossils have always been rare, but in Zigong it is as easy as digging potatoes. Scientists estimate that at least 100,000 dinosaur fossils are buried in the 17,000-square-meter range. Because the excavation can not be found, simply build a museum directly on it. Zigong Dinosaur Museum is not only fossils, but also very complete, including 15 families of paleontological fossils, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, and amphibians.
It is the site of the earliest fossils of Stegosaurus and Pterodactyls from the Middle Jurassic. The Tyrannosaurus rex fossils found in the Americas are certainly unforgettable, but after all, this is a fossil of the late dinosaur age, and the study of dinosaurs in the Jurassic era has always been a weak link in the paleontological community, and the dinosaur fossils in Zigong just fill this gap.
For dinosaur lovers, the Zigong Dinosaur Museum is a must-visit destination.
