5. Beipiao Beipiao Bird Fossil Nature Reserve
Beipiao Bird Fossil Nature Reserve is located in beipiao city, Liaoning Province, and its geographical coordinates are120 45' 22 "-120 52' 38" east longitude and 4132' 21"-4/north latitude. The nature reserve was established with the approval of Liaoning provincial government in 1997. It is a nature reserve with rare ancient fossils such as Chinese dragon bird, archaeopteryx and Confucius bird as the main protection objects.
This area is located in the hilly area of western Liaoning, with the highest elevation of 449.3 meters. The complete Mesozoic strata in this area and its numerous fossils occupy an extremely important position in the world. At present, more than 250 bird fossils have been found (1 1 genus, 14 species). Among them, loong bird and archaeopteryx are considered by experts to be close to the ancestors of birds, much earlier than the German archaeopteryx, and the age of Confucius bird can basically be compared with the German archaeopteryx. This discovery has fundamentally shaken the concept of archaeopteryx germanica as the ancestor of all birds in paleontology.
This area not only produces important bird fossils, but also finds many other fossils. There are 20 kinds of fossils in 6 phyla 14 class. In addition to birds, there are reptiles, fish, ostracods, insects, bivalves and gastropods, as well as eggs and footprints. There are 83 species of 46 genera in 3 phyla, 8 classes. Plant fossils range from ferns to higher angiosperms, including 2 phyla, 3 subphylum and 6 classes, as well as silicified wood, seeds and sporopollen fossils with unknown taxonomic position. The species and quantity of fossils are rare in the world. Experts at home and abroad believe that this area is probably not only the origin and deepening center of fish and some insect groups, but also the origin and early evolution area of birds. The establishment of Beipiao Bird Fossil Nature Reserve is of great scientific significance for studying paleogeography, paleoclimate and paleoecology, especially for studying the evolution of life from water to land and from water to air.
