The first discovery of dinosaur fossils in Hong Kong, dinosaur experts pointed out that the fossils discovered this time are very special, which is different from the varieties discovered in the past.
Comprehensive Sing Tao Daily and Hong Kong Radio website reported that Wen Jiaqi, a assistant professor at the School of Life Sciences of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said on Thursday (October 24) that the dinosaur fossil discovered this timeDinosaur fossils found in Guangdong Province in the past.Because Hong Kong is located in southern China, the variety of dinosaurs that belong to fossils are likely to be different from Sichuan, Yunnan, Liaoning and other places.
Wen Jiaqi said that he hopes that fossils can increase the interest of Hong Kong citizens for changes in paleomantic creatures and animals, and also hope that there will be more experts from Hong Kong's native research dinosaurs in the future.
In addition, the director of the Hong Kong Development Bureau Ning Hanhao said on the radio program that it was found that fossils would help studying Hong Kong's situation of 140 million years ago, and "the space for studying history is broader."
She revealed that experts will release the academic research results related to dinosaur fossils next year.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government received a notice in March this year, saying that the sedimentary rocks of Chizhou may contain suspected vertebrate fossils.The Development Bureau immediately invited experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to go to Hong Kong for field inspection, fossil sample research, and suggested management plans and discussing follow -up work.
After the field inspection, experts collected samples containing suspected vertebrate fossils.After the preliminary identification of bone tissue slices, the sample was determined that the sample was a large -scale elderly dinosaur bone fossil, which was about 145 million years ago to 66 million years ago.Experts will further study to confirm the type of dinosaurs.
