Majiacun Formation

Majiacun Formation is a geological site in Henan and Hubei composed of stacked sedimentary rock layers. These layers record changes in the ancient environment and provide clues about the conditions that existed when they formed.

The formation developed during the late Permian to early Triassic period, documenting a time of major geological change in eastern China. This period shaped the landscape features visible in the region today.

The formation serves as an educational site where geology students and researchers conduct field studies to understand Earth's historical development.

The site is located in a rural area and is best visited with local guides who know the terrain. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear and protective gear as walking involves steep rocky ground.

The formation contains multiple rock layers that function as natural archives, preserving evidence of ancient environments and geological events.
