Sea Lily Fossil Area

Sea Lily Fossil Area

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued official dispatch No. 3087,3088,3089/QD-BVHTTDL dated September 23 on the classification of a national monument for scenic spots for the Hue Bien Fossil area in Ha Giang province. As a border highland province, the terrain is difficult to travel and the climate is relatively harsh, but Ha Giang is blessed with many beautiful landscapes. The Sea Lily Fossil area - a scenic spot in the province has officially become a National Monument. The Sea Lily Fossil Area is a location where larger sea lily fossils have been discovered than elsewhere, and are also more densely distributed. The scientific name of the sea lily is Endoxocrinus parrae. The reason this flower is named Sea Lily is because its shape resembles a flower clinging to the bottom of the ocean. They are the oldest group of echinoderms still alive today. Scientists have found about 5,000 fossil specimens and more than 600 species currently live in this scenic area.
