What do you say about the stone dragon formed by stones on the ground?
First, the king of Zhao said to protect the dragon. Since the stone dragons are located at the northeast 1.5km away from the site of the famous monument of Zhao Wang, it is speculated that these stone dragons were made by Zhao Wang during the Warring States Period. The purpose is to become his guardian dragon, the treasure of Ling Zhen.
Second, the theory of natural formation of crustal changes. Because the ripples on the surface of the Dragon are very similar to the traces formed by seawater erosion, and a large number of fossils such as oysters and shells can often be collected in Jiangyao Village where Shilong is located, some people have analyzed that this area used to be the sea of Wang Yang tens of thousands of years ago. With the passage of time and the change of the earth's crust, the seawater gradually recedes, and sediment is deposited. After a long period of river water immersion, erosion, cracking and loess covering, rocks gradually form. In fact, these stone dragons are giant spiny sand diagenetic aggregates formed by natural dehydration, solidification and contraction of sand in ancient rivers.
Third, animal fossils say that because these stone dragons are somewhat special, they look similar to animal fossils. Some people speculate that tens of thousands of years ago, there lived a huge reptile vertebrate in Jiangyao Village, which looked like a dinosaur, but its body was much larger than that of dinosaurs, and its number was also small. For some reason, some "dragons" fell into the mud and died, gradually becoming fossils.
