The appearance of this fossil is very unique, although it looks ordinary on the surface, but a closer look reveals that there are insect marks in the fossil. It seems that insects have been living in this fossil all along, and it looks very unusual. Many archaeologists have said that this is the latest discovery in so many years, and that for the first time they know that a fossil can look like this.
Are mixed-winged horseshoe crab fossils the same as common fossils?
The answer is no, ordinary fossils seem to be a little older, but the fossil of the horseshoe crab has broken everyone's notion of fossils. It looks incomplete, and although it has a very large imprint, it is still very novel. This fossil is so large that it can be slightly taller than a person's height.
It took a lot of effort to conduct research at first, and many archaeologists said that this was the first time they had encountered such a novel fossil, and that they had never seen such a shape before. By all indications, it is very likely that there was a large insect that left its shape inside. It is possible that when the stones are softer, insects often inhabit the stones, and in order to ensure their safety, they feel that the stones are the most advantageous harbor for themselves.
In this way, over a long period of time, the stone will leave this shape, which is the fossil we have now.
What happens to mixed-winged horseshoe crab fossils?
In general, all fossils found are classified into various grades after being studied by archaeologists. So after getting the research report, the fossils will be sent to the museum for exhibition. As long as the old fossils are found, they are not allowed to be kept at home for their own use, which is also against the state regulations, so archaeologists must send all the fossils to the museum, or send them to the state for further research.
This is also beneficial for the study of national archaeology.

It is a meter long and looks very much like a scorpion. It has a clear appearance on the stone, and the texture is very clear, so it is very valuable.
-
The appearance of a bug, this bug is a little ugly, and this bug has a lot of dao on its body, and its body is relatively large.
-
For the first time in China, a 100-million-year-old fossil of a horseshoe crab was discovered, with a body length of 1 meter and a scorpion-like body shape.

According to the information provided by the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this chaotic ornament can be said to be very far away from us, and has filled the blank of our history and various types of specimens. Moreover, this animal is of great significance to the study of the evolution and history of our country and human beings. <>
Because they are a very important arthropod, they are very similar to modern shoes and spiders, and its appearance is also very popular, because the animals of that time period can be said to be diverse, and have a lot of power in the sea and land. Therefore, after the first discovery of this animal in our country, many researchers and some scholars in the academic community have more understanding of this kind of animal, because we have been lacking an in-depth understanding of this kind of animal, so in our continuous research and continuous excavation, the scaffold has studied and understood the specific type of this animal and its growth time, and it is very likely that we can better understand the morphological diversity and geographical distribution of this kind of animal. <>
Therefore, this discovery is of great significance, which allows us to better understand the development of history and the variation of animals. Because we all know that in the natural environment is the survival of the fittest, they need to constantly adapt to the external environment in order to continue to grow and reproduce, especially in the very distant centuries for the earth's environment, we do not know very well, so the animals at that time can let us understand in great detail and depth, the earth's environment at that time and the development of the earth. <>
Therefore, this is a very classic fossil that has been discovered, and it can be said that it has great historical and practical significance for us. It is not only a fossil of an animal, but also a treasure trove of civilization for us modern researchers.
-
This discovery is of great value for archaeology, and you can also understand the changes in the original environment, as well as the growth of these animals, and some of the conditions needed, which can be adjusted in time for now, and some measures can be made, and there is a basis for later research.
-
You can study a lot of bugs, learn about previous history, provide information about previous history, learn how bugs lived in the past, and learn how these bugs became fossils.

This discovery shows that 400 million years ago fossils have been found in China, and these fossils are very well preserved, which is of great value to our research history, and also provides a lot of experience for our research, provides valuable information, and promotes our research, which is the significance of this discovery.
-
This discovery makes up for the gap in China's mixed-winged horseshoe crab in our country, and is of great significance for our study of the evolution of paleontology, mixed-winged horseshoe crab once dominated the entire ocean in the Silurian period, whether it is shallow water, freshwater, or ocean have the distribution of this mixed-winged horseshoe crab, the study of this kind of creature that once dominated the Silurian is of great significance for our study of the evolution of Silurian biology and geology, and I believe that this discovery will reveal more mysteries about paleontology for us.

Recently, a Chinese scientific research team found a living fossil in China, and the prototype of this living fossil is the mixed-winged horseshoe crab more than 400 million years ago, which is a long-extinct creature and one of the oldest living fossils in existence. Therefore, the discovery of the fossil of the horseshoe crab in China will not only help Chinese scientists to study the evolution of the horseshoe crab, but also help scientists gradually explore what kind of characteristics the earth had more than 400 million years ago.
First of all, there are very few countries in the world that have mixed-winged horseshoe crabs, so the fossils of the mixed car-winged horseshoe crab have always appeared in various books, but very few people have really seen it, and our country has been "coveting" the living fossils of the mixed-winged horseshoe crab for a long time.
The fossil of the mixed-winged horseshoe crab found by Chinese scientists is about one meter long, and it is very well preserved, so we can determine what the appearance and body shape of the mixed-winged horseshoe crab are, which is also a very rare discovery for our country.
Secondly, scientists all over the world have different opinions on why the horseshoe crab is extinct, among which the more mainstream view is that the horseshoe crab lived in the Cambrian era, when all water sources should be higher than body temperature, so the horseshoe crab also survives in a warm environment, but with the great changes in the environment, the temperature of the water source has begun to drop sharply, and the mixed-winged horseshoe crab has not adapted to the changes in the natural environment, so while the water source has become cold, it has not evolved the physiological function to resist cold water. That's why it's gradually becoming extinct.
Therefore, after the fossils of the horseshoe crab were found in China, we can gradually explore whether the horseshoe crab really lived in warm water, and the mystery of their extinction may also be revealed, but scientists have not found anything at present, so the research on the fossils of the horseshoe crab is also a long way to go.

Understand the process of living organisms and reflect the living environment of living organisms at that time. Understand the process of the organism, and deduce the evolutionary history of the organism by discovering the fossil of the horseshoe crab; Reflecting the living environment of the organism at that time, Danpei determined that the environment of the organism 4.3 billion years ago and the geological strata of the combustion balance are of great significance for biological research.
-
I think this is of great significance, because it can allow Chinese researchers to clearly understand the evolution of this fossil, and it will also contribute to the development of science and technology in China, and it will also contribute to the progress of science and technology in China, and even promote the development of biology in China, but I think the most important point is that it can reflect the living environment of organisms at that time, so I think this discovery is of great significance.
-
It is convenient for scientists to study, so that people can know the situation of animals 4.3 billion years ago, and can let people know the situation of the crudely leaky creatures of this breed, which has very important research value, and allows people to understand more about the things before the reform of the 4.3 billion year god bench.
-
But let's have a long snack, it was 100 million years ago, and there was a fart 4.3 billion years ago.

I think this matter may be a new breakthrough now, because for so long, we haven't had a lot of research on Wu Qin in this area, not that there hasn't been a lot of research, that is to say, we have been researching in this area for so many years, but we haven't found a lot of new things, so this discovery can be said to be a progress, providing more hope and confidence for future development in this area. And this discovery has indeed confirmed that there are still many unknown creatures in the ocean, and there are many unknown new creatures that have not yet been discovered. <>
Judging from this, in fact, the shape of this fossil is relatively similar to the shape of the scorpion we see now, as far as I am concerned, I think from this can be associated with the orange shed, our current land scorpions, is it evolved from the original species in the ocean, because there is also a theory that we humans also evolved from the ocean, so I think the two species are so similar, there must be some connection between them, Let's just say that we don't have a way to explain them right now. <>
And now there are many legends or stories about marine creatures on the Internet, I think these stories seem unrealistic, but I think they are still quite interesting, and the origin of these stories must have some basis, not fabricated and imagined by others, such as our Journey to the West, which is also based on real things, so there will be such a TV series. <>
So I think maybe in a few decades or 100 years, we may have a greater breakthrough in marine life or some ancient creatures, such as dinosaurs, maybe we can figure out whether dinosaurs existed, or what kind of creatures they were, and how we humans produced them.
-
It can be seen that China is getting better and better, and Chinese science is also very good, and I really support this approach.
-
This discovery is simply exciting, which shows that we have studied ancient biology more deeply and have allowed us to discover new continents.
-
It's a very good thing to give us an idea of what happened hundreds of millions of years ago, and it also gives us an idea of what happened before.

Recently, researchers in China have found an extremely rare fossil of the horseshoe crab, and this fossil evolved from the horseshoe crab about 100 million years ago, which is of great significance to the study of horseshoe crab in China. Judging from the information obtained by our country so far, the mixed-winged horseshoe crab is a kind of "overlord in the water", although the body length of the mixed-winged horseshoe crab is only one meter at length, but because of their super adaptability, speed and attack power, they have gained absolute dominance in the water.
First of all, most of the existing aquatic organisms are actually divided into several categories, some aquatic organisms can only survive in the ocean, some aquatic organisms can only survive in lakes, rivers and other fresh water, and some aquatic organisms must live in shallow water, so aquatic organisms have different overlords in different areas.
However, 100 million years ago, aquatic organisms had a common enemy, the mixed-winged horseshoe crab mentioned above, because the mixed-winged horseshoe crab can survive in all water resources, and there are different species of mixed-winged horseshoe crab in different water resources.
Secondly, the shape of the horseshoe crab itself is like a giant scorpion, they not only wear a very thick shell, but also have very sharp claws, the claws can allow them to attack other creatures like scorpions, and the tips of the claws can also release venom, so even if it is a larger aquatic creature than them, it is inevitable to die when they are attacked, if you really encounter a creature that is huge enough to devour the horseshoe crab in one bite, Horseshoe crabs are also able to survive by relying on their strong escape ability.
To sum up, although the horseshoe crab itself is not a giant aquatic creature, but they have a large body, extremely fast swimming speed and strong aggression, so they can ensure that they gain absolute dominance in the water, but this strong creature eventually became extinct, and the specific reason for extinction is unknown, but some scientists believe that it slowly became extinct in natural evolution.
