Boli Silicified Wood Cluster
Boli Silicified Wood Cluster
The Boli Silicified Wood Cluster is located about 1 kilometer southeast of the town outskirts in Boli County. In 1992, Dang Lili, a cadre from Boli County, discovered it during a morning jog. Wei Zhengyi, a paleontological researcher at the provincial museum, conducted research and concluded that these petrified wood fossils formed between 3 million and 60 million years ago. They hold significant value for studying the ancient geographical environment, climate, and ecology of Northeast China.
Currently, one remaining silicified wood is 40 meters long with a diameter of over 1 meter. The fossil retains the complete form of the tree trunk, with clear annual ring patterns. The surrounding rock of the fossil is sandy in texture.
Address: 1 kilometer southeast of the town outskirts, Boli County, Qitaihe City
