论大型恐龙化石野外科学发掘方法

Discussion on scientifically excavating large dinosaur fossils in the field

为新时期我国恐龙等古生物化石能够依法及科学地发掘与保护开发利用,通过沈阳师范大学近十年来在辽西及新疆等地成功开展大型恐龙化石野外发掘工作的实例,论述了恐龙等化石的野外发掘应在认真贯彻国家《古生物化石保护条例》的前提下,通过严格履行国家有关发掘申请程序、组织由科学家率领的高水平的化石发掘队伍、运用科学的发掘方法以及化石发掘后密切与科研结合等措施,高质量完成化石发掘任务。上述方法为依法及科学地发掘古生物化石并合理地开发利用及保护等提供了范例。

For better carrying out the fossil excavations scientifically and in accordance with the law in China in the new period,the authors discuss on the scientific method for excavating the large dinosaur fossils in the field,taking the samples of the experiences of the scientific teams of Shenyang Normal University in the field work in Liaoning and Xinjiang,China for the last decade.The suggested method includes that under the premise of seriously carrying out the ＂National Regulations for the Protection of Fossils in China＂,the excavations should be 1）strictly fulfilling official application procedures for the excavations,2）organizing a high level of fossil excavation team led by scientists,3）adopting scientific method of excavation,and 4）combining the excavations with their subsequent research on the fossils.The working experience provides the examples worthy of reference for the fossil excavations including the large dinosaur fossils in China,and would benefit the fossil protection and developmental utilization in the new period.
