化石是歷經(jīng)上千年、上億年滄海桑田演變的稀世珍寶，是生物和人類進(jìn)化史上具有重要意義的科學(xué)標(biāo)本，是世界上珍貴的科學(xué)和文化遺產(chǎn)，極具收藏價(jià)值。遠(yuǎn)古海洋生物化石中，最古老的化石是距今10億——8億年的元古代薊縣紀(jì)的菌藻、古藻類疊層石巖，除此之外，就是大量的古生代碳酸鈣質(zhì)沉積巖，其中有三四億年前的珊瑚、海綿、菊石、海百合生物，還有腕足類、腹足類等生物。這些生物死后，保存了它們軀體的地層，經(jīng)過滄桑巨變，才最終形成了石頭。
在漫長的地質(zhì)年代里，地球上曾經(jīng)生活過無數(shù)的生物，這些動(dòng)物死亡之后的遺體或是生活時(shí)遺留下來的痕跡，許多都被當(dāng)時(shí)的泥沙掩埋起來。在隨后的歲月中，這些生物遺體中的有機(jī)質(zhì)分解殆盡，堅(jiān)硬的部分如外殼、骨骼、枝葉等與包圍在周圍的沉積物一起經(jīng)過石化變成了石頭，但是它們?cè)瓉淼男螒B(tài)、結(jié)構(gòu)(甚至一些細(xì)微的內(nèi)部構(gòu)造)依然保留著;同樣，那些生物生活時(shí)留下的痕跡也可以這樣保留下來。我們把這些石化了的生物遺體、遺跡就稱為化石
隨著市場(chǎng)對(duì)化石的收藏?zé)岫葋砜?，海洋生物化石已?jīng)不是單單的收藏那么簡(jiǎn)單了，化石對(duì)于收藏愛好者和化石投資者來說已經(jīng)源源不是簡(jiǎn)單的喜歡和研究那么簡(jiǎn)單了，化石源于他的稀有和對(duì)于上冰河時(shí)期地球早期所發(fā)生的變故而遺留下了的億萬年標(biāo)本進(jìn)而變成了化石，所以化石已經(jīng)不單單是只有研究價(jià)值而已，因?yàn)樗南∮泻褪袌?chǎng)對(duì)他們的評(píng)估已經(jīng)是非常高。
Fossils are rare treasures that have evolved over the course of thousands of years and hundreds of millions of years. They are important scientific specimens in the evolutionary history of biology and human beings. They are precious scientific and cultural heritages in the world and have great collection value. Among the ancient marine biological fossils, the oldest fossils are the Protozoan Jixian period fungal algae and paleoalgae stromatolite rocks from 1 billion to 800 million years ago. In addition, they are a large number of Paleozoic calcium carbonate sedimentary rocks. Among them are corals, sponges, ammonites, sea lily creatures 300 to 400 million years ago, as well as brachiopods and gastropods. After these creatures died, they preserved the stratum of their bodies. Only after vicissitudes of life did they finally form stones.
In the long geological age, countless creatures have lived on the earth. Many of the remains of these animals after death or traces left in life are buried by the mud and sand of the time. In the following years, the organic matter in these biological remains was decomposed, and the hard parts such as shells, bones, branches and leaves, along with the surrounding sediments, were petrified into stones, but their original forms and structures (even Some subtle internal structures) are still preserved; similarly, the traces left by the living creatures can also be preserved in this way. We call these petrified biological remains and relics fossils
With the market's popularity for fossil collections, marine fossils are no longer as simple as collections. For fossil lovers and fossil investors, fossils are no longer as simple as liking and research. Fossils are derived from him. Rarity and the hundreds of millions of years of specimens left over from the early changes of the Earth during the Upper Ice Age turned into fossils, so the fossils are not only of research value, because of their rarity and market evaluation of them Is very high.
