Please follow "If Cultural Relics Can Speak"
Let's take a look at those in Meishu Village, Jinning, Yunnan
Discovered fossil groups
The time they appeared
Can be more ancient than human "history"

Preserving rich fossils of ancient biological entities and relics
Research has pointed out that the soil excavated from Meishu Village
A large number of small shell fossils
It was the one who later dominated the entire Cambrian period
The direct ancestor of trilobites
The era of the birth of small shelled organisms

Named "Meishu Village Fauna"
These fossils fully represent
Biologics from "invisible" bacteria, algae, and suspected sources
Evolved to "visible"
The process of shelled arthropods
Fully showcasing the diversity of organisms from few to many

Evolution from simple to complex, from low-level to high-level
In addition to the "Meishu Village Fauna"
I also found a lot here
