  These fossils are rich in variety, including corals, fusulinids, ammonites, crinoid stems, bivalves, plants and vermiglyphs, which are an important part of the geological heritages in Leye area. these fossils are an important tool for stratigraphic division, dating and earth evolution research, and have high scientific value, while for others, these fossils have very good aesthetic ornamental value and science popularization value, and will play a positive role in promoting museum construction, science popularization and tourism development in the geopark.

  The donation ceremony was held on the first floor of Leye-Fengshan Glboal Geopark Museum on the morning of May 9, and the experts from the International Research Centre on Karst, UNESCO and China Geological Survey government officials of Leye county and the management committee of Leye-Fengshan UGGP attended this ceremony.
