澄江化石地 寒武纪的“江湖”

Chengjiang Fossil Site:Scenario of the Cambrian Era

澄江化石地揭示了距今5.3亿年前早寒武纪地球生命快速多样化的独特经历,生命摇篮在短暂的地质间隙中孕育了几乎所有主要动物类群的祖先,是生命历史主要阶段的杰出例证,代表了寒武纪生命大爆发时期独一无二的纪录,是动物迅速多样化的“根”,也是早期复杂海洋生态系统的最佳例证,

Chengjiang Fossil Site is the only fossil-type World Natural Heritage site in China and in Asia as well. Hailed as the birthplace of pre-historic life, it is also where the Cambrian Era began.
