發展歷史
二連地(di)區是亞(ya)洲最早發現恐(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)化(hua)石及恐(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)蛋化(hua)石的(de)(de)地(di)區之一(yi),素有“恐(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)之鄉”的(de)(de)美(mei)譽。恐(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)遺址位于距市(shi)中心9公里的(de)(de)二連鹽池一(yi)帶(dai),早在7000萬年前的(de)(de)白堊紀晚期,這里湖(hu)泊(bo)密(mi)布,氣候濕熱,密(mi)林叢生(sheng),是恐(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)生(sheng)息(xi)繁衍的(de)(de)樂園。從十(shi)(shi)九(jiu)世紀九(jiu)十(shi)(shi)年代開(kai)始(shi)的(de)(de)100年中,先后有俄、美(mei)、加等近十(shi)(shi)個國(guo)家和(he)我國(guo)的(de)(de)古生(sheng)物學家、地(di)質(zhi)學家在這里進行過七(qi)次(ci)大型(xing)考察和(he)挖掘(jue)。陸續(xu)發現盤足(zu)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)、歐氏阿萊龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)、鴨(ya)嘴(zui)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)、似鳥龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)等十(shi)(shi)余種(zhong)恐(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)化(hua)石,出土了(le)大量(liang)較完整(zheng)的(de)(de)恐(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)骨(gu)骼化(hua)石。其中,恐(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)蛋化(hua)石的(de)(de)發現創我國(guo)最早記錄。
館藏文物
二連(lian)浩特市恐龍(long)博物(wu)館陳列有古(gu)生代海洋動物(wu)化石;新生代哺乳動物(wu)化石。“內蒙古(gu)龍(long)”是鐮刀(dao)龍(long)類恐龍(long)的一(yi)個(ge)新化石。
相關背景
地(di)處內(nei)(nei)蒙古(gu)北部的(de)二連(lian)盆地(di)埋藏著十分豐(feng)富的(de)恐(kong)(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)等脊椎動物(wu)化石,被古(gu)生物(wu)學(xue)家稱為“恐(kong)(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)墓地(di)”。這(zhe)(zhe)里(li)是亞洲最(zui)早(zao)發(fa)現(xian)恐(kong)(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)化石的(de)地(di)區之一,恐(kong)(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)化石品種繁多,其中(zhong)的(de)白(bai)堊(e)紀恐(kong)(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)化石代表著全球恐(kong)(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)活動最(zui)晚(wan)期(qi)的(de)生物(wu)群(qun)特征(zheng),因(yin)此科研價值(zhi)極高。1998年內(nei)(nei)蒙古(gu)在這(zhe)(zhe)里(li)建(jian)立了(le)二連(lian)盆地(di)--查(cha)干(gan)諾爾恐(kong)(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)化石自(zi)然(ran)保護(hu)區。兩具白(bai)堊(e)紀恐(kong)(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)裝架栩栩如生,至(zhi)今已接待了(le)數以(yi)萬計的(de)中(zhong)外游(you)客(ke),不少人留下了(le)“恐(kong)(kong)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)之鄉,名(ming)不虛傳(chuan)”的(de)贊嘆。
恐(kong)龍化(hua)石(shi)重(zhong)大發現(xian)的(de)新聞(wen)接(jie)連(lian)從這個(ge)盆地傳出(chu)(chu)。2000年8月,內蒙古(gu)博物(wu)館(guan)的(de)專家發現(xian)了大面積的(de)恐(kong)龍骨骼化(hua)石(shi)埋藏層,被(bei)世界著名(ming)恐(kong)龍專家、中國科學院(yuan)研究(jiu)員董枝明(ming)稱(cheng)為“在(zai)(zai)古(gu)生(sheng)物(wu)化(hua)石(shi)發掘(jue)史(shi)上也(ye)堪稱(cheng)難得(de)一(yi)遇”。后中國的(de)古(gu)生(sheng)物(wu)學家又向外界宣布,二(er)連(lian)盆地發現(xian)鐮刀龍類恐(kong)龍的(de)一(yi)個(ge)新化(hua)石(shi),專家給命名(ming)為“內蒙古(gu)龍”。發現(xian)這些(xie)恐(kong)龍化(hua)石(shi)的(de)專家們興奮地認為,二(er)連(lian)盆地恐(kong)龍化(hua)石(shi)區在(zai)(zai)世紀之交發現(xian)豐(feng)富(fu)的(de)恐(kong)龍化(hua)石(shi),對(dui)于提高(gao)正在(zai)(zai)進行西部大開(kai)(kai)發的(de)內蒙古(gu)的(de)知(zhi)(zhi)名(ming)度,以(yi)及對(dui)科學文化(hua)知(zhi)(zhi)識的(de)普(pu)及,都(dou)具有積極的(de)推動(dong)作用。他們建議,在(zai)(zai)科學發掘(jue)、研究(jiu)和保護的(de)前提下,應盡快籌(chou)建一(yi)座遺址(zhi)博物(wu)館(guan),并借此(ci)推動(dong)自治(zhi)區旅游業和中外文化(hua)交流(liu)與(yu)合作事(shi)業的(de)發展。據自治(zhi)區政府傳出(chu)(chu)的(de)信息,二(er)連(lian)盆地恐(kong)龍遺址(zhi)博物(wu)館(guan)工程已(yi)逐步開(kai)(kai)始啟(qi)動(dong)。
