Tillite rock
The tillite rock located in Xiaomu Village, Zhexi Town, Anhua County was formed as a result of the global ice cap climate event known as the "Snowball Earth" that took place between 600 and 700 million years ago.
It not only preserves intact rock records from 600 million years ago, but also those from the "hothouse" climate event that followed the ice age.
Currently, tillite rock has only been found in Africa worldwide, but the tillite layer here boasts the greatest thickness, scale, and rock quality, making it of immeasurable value and a world wonder.
