No fossils found, but picked up a 10,000-year-old relic. Anyang river, Henan, China
hiposong posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Long time no see! How are you everyone?! Here's the story.On June 20, we had just stopped raining, it was cloudy, and I thought it wasn't too hot, so I went to look for a fossil that I had found earlier. It suddenly looked like a spindle worm. But the structure is different. I don't know what it is. Who can tell me? Trapezoid, 2cm long, 1cm wide.Found in the Anyang River. Wow, let me start by sharing with you what I had for breakfast. This kind of food is only available in our city. It's called 'Bian Fen Cai(You know KFC, we jokingly call it BFC)'.Transparent noodles are made of sweet potatoes.Green vegetables, tofu and pig's blood are added and stewed in bone broth.Why don't many regions eat animal blood? Difficult question, but we have a lot of blood food here, and there's a legend that goes back a long time.During the hunting days here, blood and guts were difficult to preserve, so the men turned them into food, bringing easy-to-preserve meat to the women and children of the camp. Digress, this is delicious. Why have I been missing for so long? In 2021, we had a lot of rain here, and my car went for a swim like this. So I can't go far away.So I went by bike. It only took me an hour. Digress again,I miscalculated. There was no sun, but the earth was steaming.When I was frustrated at not finding such a fossil, I casually picked up a rock with the stone skipping.I suddenly realized that the Anyang River had no such stones. It was covered in mud, but I could tell it was flaky mica sandstone.Between this rock source and the Anyang River, there are other rivers that isolate the sediment.So it has to do with Cultural relic. Yes, its edges are ground. There are perforations on both sides, but they're not pierced. Found some information, it should belong to the Xiaonanhai culture.Carbon-14 dates this civilization to about 13,000 years ago.This civilization is on the Anyang River, and interestingly, the earliest writing in China is also on the Anyang River.As for the fate of the stone, of course, it is donated to the museum. Ah, our city is really Historical cities. Have a good day. Wait, who's gonna tell me what that fossil is?

Xixia Amber (Gaogou Formation, 100.5-85.8 Ma)
Barrelcactusaddict posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Fossil Amber and Copal: Worldwide Localities
Amber Xixia Basin, Xixia County, Henan Province, China Gaogou Formation (100.5-85.8 Ma) Total Weight: 10.1 grams Overview: These pieces are all unwashed and still have an extremely fine layer of sediment; each has high clarity and rich color, many are naturally droplet-shaped, and individual measurements range from 1 to 8 millimeters in length. A few fragments of coal are also present within the lot. Prevalence, Inclusions, Botanical Source: Amber itself is quite common within the Xixia Basin, hosting China's largest amber reserves, but despite this is very rarely seen on the market. It has also been studied very little, mostly due to the fact that biological inclusions have not been known to occur in it. An araucarian source for this amber was determined based on chemical analysis. Geological Setting, Associated Fossils, Age: Amber occurs as lenses and droplets within the middle unit of the Gaogou Fm., in fine-grained sandstone which is non-marine in origin; the middle unit measures up to 440 meters thick, and also contains dinosaur egg and bone fossils, of at least 6 different genera: the presence of some of these species indicate an age of early Late Cretaceous. At other nearby amber sites (Wuliqiao Town) the presence of ostracod and bivalve fossils indicate a slightly younger age (middle to upper Late Cretaceous). Plant and pollen fossils are not known from the amber-bearing strata at Wuliqiao Town. Given the alluvial setting the amber is found in, and the absence of plant macrofossils in the matrix, I feel it may be possible that the amber was redeposited making it somewhat older than its host strata.
