Dinosaur Museum |
Zigong City is an important region of the dinosaur fossil in China. As the famous saying goes, one finds a veritable nest of dinosaur at Zigong. There are more than forty locations within the city at which dinosaur fossils from different eras have been found. A very considerable amount of fossilized dinosaurs has been excavated here and other vertebrate fossils have been found as well at the same sites. The Dinosaur Museum covers an area of more than 66000 square meters, in which the exhibitions hall takes 3600 square meters. In the museum, there are large quantities of dinosaur fossils on exhibition, nearly including all the known species in the era that is 2.05 million years to 1.35 million years before. You can see the fossiles of various dinosaur species distributing in the sandstones, which is the epitome of the large tomb of dinosaur. What’s more, there is the reversion of Emei Dinosaur (é méi lóng 峨眉龙), which is about 10 meters high. Together with the light, and the multimedia, the museum reproduces the Jurassic Era.
