Jurassic Silicified Wood Conservation Base
There are nearly 300 silicified woods in the Xinjiang Ancient Ecology Park, making it the world’s largest conservation base for Jurassic silicified woods.
The silicified woods in Xinjiang are mainly distributed on the vast Gobi deserts of the three counties of Qitai, Mulei, and Jimusar. Since the discovery of silicified woods in Xinjiang in the 1980s, it has caused a large number of illegal mining and excavation activities. Therefore, the government began to carry out protection work. However, due to the existence of silicified woods in the vast Gobi desert, protecting them requires a significant amount of manpower, material resources, and energy. Therefore, the scenic area responded to the government’s policy of ex-situ conservation by designating an area within the park for protection and opening it to the public, making it easier for more people to appreciate these Gobi treasures.
From 70 million to 200 million years ago, during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, the Earth was young and restless, with tectonic movements rising and falling. Sturdy and dense Araucaria, pine, cypress, ginkgo, and birch trees grew here carefree for countless years. However, one morning, a volcano erupted, burying the vast forest underwater in an instant. The trees in the forest, due to the sudden intense heat, were carbonized before they could be burned, and when they sank into the seabed, they happened to encounter an abundant silicon dioxide liquid-rich layer. These omnipresent liquids quickly infiltrated the carbonized tree trunks under extreme pressure. At this moment, the trees were the molds, and silicon dioxide was the filler. They completely fused into one during the volcano eruption and were buried in the vacuum seabed for hundreds of millions of years, eventually becoming petrified woods.
Petrified woods are often called ‘wood fossils’ or ‘tree fossils’ and ‘tree jade’ because they still retain residual wooden structures. They not only have the beauty of fossils but also the beauty of rare stones and jade, condensing the essence of the earth’s mountains and rivers, with an antique and natural charm.
These petrified woods in Xinjiang Ancient Ecology Park, China, are estimated to be about 160 million years old according to expert research, dating back to the Jurassic period when dinosaurs dominated. The current deserts of Xinjiang were once lush and covered with forests, lakes, and clear waters, and these petrified woods are good proof of this.
