 Tillite

Classification:Sedimentary Rock

A poorly sorted sedimentary rock formed by glacial action. Its color is gray brown or dark brown. Its quality is heavy, hard and crisp, and there are sand or other fossils in it.

Tillite, whose name is moraine gravel, is one of the rare stones in the world. The color of the rock is gray brown, dark brown, heavy, hard and brittle, with sand and other small fossils in it. According to textual research, Tillite was formed from about 6 to 700 million years ago. At that time, there was a global ice cover event on the earth. After the ice age, there was another "hot chamber climate" event. The extreme heat and cold, they formed a rare Tillite.

Brief introduction:
According to textual research, Tillite dates back to about 6 to 700 million years ago. At that time, there was a global ice cover event on the earth. After the ice age, there was another "hot chamber climate" event. The extreme heat and cold, they formed a rare Tillite.
In the Tillite area, trace elements such as zinc and selenium are very rich.

Chinese discovery time: in August 2001, the Nanjing geological and paleontological Institute, Professor Chen Junyuan of the central south academy of Sciences and a foreign expert came to Anhua in Hunan to carry out geological survey, and found the Tillite layer of seven hundred million years ago in the village of shaju, zhe Xi Town. It not only kept well the rock record 700 million years ago, but also preserved the rock record of the "hot chamber" climate event after the ice age. This discovery provides valuable data for scientists to study the climate, geology and the evolution of the earth at that time.
A few decades ago, the rock in Huaihua area of Hunan province (from Yuanling county to Jingxian county) has been discovered. There are records in the reports of many exploration units.
10 years of discovery
In August 2010, Mr. Ning Da he, a tea lover, found a larger Tillite area. After the discovery of Tillite in the Furong mountain contracted mountain forest, a large number of investigations have been made for the hibiscus mountain range for more than two months. It is confirmed by the experts that there are many places in the mountain range of the Furong mountain, which are Tillite. There are Tillite layers in the past six hundred million years, and there are more than seven hundred million years of Tillite layer. There are Tillite in the towns of Dongshan Township, Fuwang mountain forest farm, Furong mountain forest farm, Liao Jiping reservoir, Xinqiao Township, Mu Kong Township, Gaoming Township, Kowloon Township, Tong Tong Pu Zhen and Dafu town.

The wonders of the world:
At present, in addition to the small area of Tillite in the Republic of South Africa, it is rare to preserve such a large area like Anhua, and the thickness and scale of the Tillite layer and the quality of the rock are known as "the most" in the world and have inestimable value, which is called the "world wonders" by the scientific community. This discovery provides valuable data for scientists to study the climate, geology and the evolution of the earth at that time. Because of its long history, Tillite is also known as longevity stone and auspicious stone, which is regarded as a treasure.
In recent years, Tillite has become a valuable gift for the Anhua people to give their relatives and friends. In August 2003, the Anhua county government gave as a valuable gift.
A Tillite sample was given to the government of the Macao district. At the same time, it has become a favorite product of Anhua's collectors.

Precious gifts:
Tillite is one of the rare stones in the world. Its color is gray brown or dark brown, and its quality is heavy, hard and crisp. There are sand or other fossils in it. Because of its long history, Tillite is also known as longevity stone and auspicious stone. According to textual research, at present, besides the small area Tillite in South Africa, the scale and rock quality of Anhua Tillite are the most in the world.
Due to the longevity and rarity of Tillite, it has become a precious gift for the Anhua people to give their relatives and friends. In August 2003, the Anhua county government gave a Tillite sample to Macao district government as a valuable gift. At the same time, it has become a favorite product of Anhua's collectors.
In the past few years, only a Tillite processing and manufacturing plant in Anhua has been sought in the past few years. Now, more than 20 Tillite production and processing plants have been produced, such as autumn, memory, Huayi, water tripod, selenium rich, and millions of millions of people.
