Shanwang National Geological Park, Geological park in Longgang Town, China
The geological park extends over 13 square kilometers of volcanic terrain, containing diatomitic deposits and numerous fossil-bearing formations in central Shandong province.
Scientists discovered more than 600 distinct species dating back to the Early-Middle Miocene period, approximately 17 million years ago within the Shanwang Formation.
Research teams from across China gather at this national park to study the extensive collection of preserved insects, birds, mammals, and plant specimens.
The park features educational exhibits, marked walking paths, and viewing platforms located 22 kilometers from Linqu County, with specific areas designated for fossil observation.
The fossil collection includes insects with intact wing veins and original colors, along with exceptionally preserved deer and bear remains from the Miocene epoch.
