Wood fossil resources
Silicified wood is mainly produced in Mesozoic, most in Jurassic and Cretaceous. According to the data analysis of China 1: 200000 regional geological map, Jurassic and Cretaceous are distributed in all provinces of China, so the geographical distribution of silicified wood should be all over the provinces.

Most of the wood fossils in Xiadelong Bay are conifers in gymnosperms, which are preserved in sandstone shale strata of Jurassic Houcheng Formation in Xiadelong Bay, about1300,000 years ago. At that time, due to the Yanshan movement and volcanic eruption, patches of forests were buried underground. In the environment of hypoxia and high pressure, groundwater rich in silica slowly seeps into trees, and silica molecules are replaced by organic components of trees, while the structure of trees is completely preserved and becomes wood fossils. With the rise of the earth's surface, wood fossils are exposed. Within a few square kilometers of Fiona Fang, there are more than 40 wood fossils in Xiadelong Bay, some of which are nearly 2 meters above the water surface. The large exposed area, the large number and the thick tree diameter are rare in China.
