A few days ago, the Hebei Provincial Department of Natural Resources released the results of the survey of paleontological fossils -in April 2020, the Hebei Provincial District Regulatory Council found large dinosaur footprint fossils in Xuanhua District, Zhangjiakou City. The fossil group is about 9,100 square meters, and there are more than 4,300 dinosaur footprints. The first exposed area and number of footprints are the highest in the country. The preliminary determination of these footprints comes from 4 dinosaurs. One of them is the newly discovered dinosaur. Essence

This dinosaur footprint fossil point is located on a hillside in Xuanhua District. On the hard rocks, dense dinosaur footprints are distributed. Some of these footprints are similar to circular, and some are similar to the shape of the beast claws. Geological investigators have shown the geological ages at the scene that the rock layers where these dinosaur footprints are in are 150 million years ago. Li Jianjun, a researcher at the Beijing Nature Museum, speculated that the scene of the dinosaur footprint had a large number of forests and water sources more than 100 million years ago. Scientific issues such as correlations are extremely important.
