I heard about trilobite very early, I also heard about trilobite fossils on the mountains near us, and I also got a trilobite fossil ornament. For this long-extinct pioneer of the earth's creatures and humans who are late for life, have we ever thought about our own places?
I still have an unreal feeling about fossils through listening to the explanation. How did fossils come from? Is the pattern above natural? Is it about explaining science? etc.
A few days ago, a colleague and I went to the mountain to look for trilobite fossils with a colleague who taught geography. Through the perception of the existence of the mountain, the process of finding the fossils, and witnessing the appearance of the fossils with our own eyes, we further affirmed its existence.
Trilobite lived on Earth 560 million years ago and was one of the earliest creatures on Earth. During its evolution in 320 million years, its shape and size have changed greatly, and many different species have been produced, but none of them have lost the three-leaf-shaped abdominal features.
The common trilobite here is the common carapace on our side. The head is thick and long and bent backward, forming a very eye-catching swallow flying posture. This fossil is called "swallow stone".
Finding the Swallow Stone is not an easy task. First, it exists in certain geological rock formations, and second, these rock formations need to be identified. Third, these rock formations only exist in some place. Fourth, only certain layers exist in the rock strata, and the distribution is uneven and the number is limited. Fifth, I have been playing with too much in looking for Swallow Stone.
geography teacher has lost twice, and the third time, he found some under the guidance of a local villager. The villager didn't know what geological rock formations had swallow stones, but he saw where people found the swallow stones.
We came to a mountain, and the geography teacher pointed to a rock layer made of thin stone on the mountain and said, "That layer looks like a Paleozoic layer, there may be fossils inside, and the stone flakes below may have peeled off from the top. Let's look up from the bottom."

"Look at those flat and yellowed ones, it was from that time."
The hillside is very steep, the sun is very big, and the ground is covered with gravel on the slope, and people stagger from time to time. After climbing a slope of not high, the person was already panting and sweating, his feet were slippery and his legs were weak, and he had not found any results, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"There are so many people coming here, so it's not easy to find it. Let's take a break and look for it."
We sat on the bluestone on the mountain, drinking water while listening to geography teachers talking about the changes in the earth's crust, and our emotions gradually improved. Looking at the foot of the mountain, beside the green wheat fields all over the mountains, the beautiful scenery woven by clusters of peach and white pears makes us feel refreshed.
This time we are looking for fossils purely to satisfy a curiosity. Without outsiders' instructions or fame and fortune, we just want to learn some geological knowledge and skills. In our old age, we are far away from the noisy human feelings in the world, and in the peaceful and quiet nature, we truly feel the flow of blood and the ups and downs of breathing.
After resting, we calmed down a lot and began to turn the suspicious stone tablets again. "I found one, just look at it, just look at it, just look for it."
The first time I saw a living fossil, I naturally felt an inexplicable intimacy in my heart, just like I found a celebrity I had heard of. Although it was not found by myself, I knew that this was indeed something that happened around me.
We then follow the direction guided by the geography teacher, and follow the general appearance of the fossil, and look for the hopes in our hearts with passion. Just when I was a little tired, in a trance, the pattern on a stone flake looked like a trilobite. I thought it was because I was tired and could be an illusion. I wiped my sweat and rubbed my eyes and looked at it. It was a fossil of trilobite.
At this moment, I suddenly thought of the test-oriented education. Isn’t this time looking for trilobite fossil a kind of test-oriented activity? With someone with discerning eyes, basic theoretical guidance, someone encourages you, and personal continuous efforts, you can achieve your goal in a short time.
Look at these fossils, and I also felt a little emotional. Some of the insects on it are still complete, but more of them are different from the body and head, and the stone is messy. Maybe at the moment when the earth's crust changes, some are hunting, some are resting, and some are entertainment. They are living for life. How could they think that in a moment, they will always be frozen in time and space.
people? Will it be difficult to escape the bad luck under powerful natural forces? Or, without the destruction of nature, will you kill each other in the face of destruction, and will you scatter yourself in the suffering of suffering, and endure even more painful torture than trilobite fossils.
It seems that people should live more leisurely, and people should live more leisurely.
After we achieved our first victory, we not only found experience and felt, but also found the passion when we set out, and continued to expand the results of our victory. We saw more biological fossils that could not be called, we found the colorful trilobite fossils given by natural colors, and we also found the embossed version of trilobite fossils.
Why are some trilobite fossils so "bright"? Was he a general who fought on the battlefield during his lifetime? Is it a benchmark individual in the evolutionary process? Or is it a sage who is in a good manner for generations? I just thought that these "outstanding people" are the choice of time and space, personal luck, and a little personal "spiritual energy".
101pm, sore and exhausted. Lying on the sofa, I felt a little bit of insight in my heart. It is really difficult to do something well. We must have endless personal interests, sufficient personal control time, free space without anyone to disturb us, certain professional knowledge and skills, necessary mental and physical support, and necessary serious efforts.
However, to have these, we must first remove the spiritual shackles that are driven by fame, profit and power.
Trilobite may perish forever after death,
Civilized people will be best for the benefit of the world.
