Among them, 5 species are listed in the first level of national key protection and 32 species are listed in the second level of national key protection.

Characteristics of geological relics

The geological connotation of geoparks is very deep and wide, which is mainly reflected in the complete and typical Yangtze block and its cap rock stratigraphic section, karst landscape, paleontological fossil landscape and so on. It has important scientific value for analyzing the geological evolution history of the peripheral basins of Tethys, Qinling (central) orogenic belt and Sichuan Basin, and even the evolution and development of the whole Yangtze block We need to understand the significance of science.

(1) Located on the boundary line of karst landform between North and south of China, the park develops karst series landscapes represented by nuoshui River Cave group, marvelous travertine (Yiyi Egon, Xiongchuan waterfall, shidun group, etc.), Kongshan tianpen poligu, Yanziling and Jiaguo mountain ridge peak cluster, Linjiang Lixia, etc., as well as southern pipeline underground river karst and northern dry valley karst The special landscape is a bright pearl on the karst boundary between North and South China.

(2) The park is located in the center of the crisscross structural belt of Kunlun Qinling Dabieshan Central Orogenic Belt and Helanshan Liupanshan Longmenshan Kangdian axis, which is a giant orogenic belt running through the hinterland of China. It is the most typical area to study the tectonic transformation and continental dynamics between the northern margin of Yangtze block, Qinling orogenic belt and Longmenshan orogenic belt.

(3) The park system completely shows the ancient block composed of the ancient metamorphic rock series in the northern margin of the Yangtze block, the Sinian Middle Triassic marine sediments and the upper Triassic Neogene continental sedimentary stratigraphic sections. It is a natural geological museum in China and even in the world to study the formation and evolution of ancient continents and the Meso Cenozoic intracontinental orogenic belts.

(4) The park is the discovery and naming place of "Shu beast order". There are abundant fossils in the park. Especially precious is shuotherium dongi, a member of the Middle Jurassic Shaximiao formation, tritylodontidae, which is about 150 million years ago. It is one of the oldest mammal fossils in the world. It was named by academician Zhou Mingzhen of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and based on this, the "Shu mammalia order" was established. The discovery of this fossil is of great significance to the study of biological evolution sequence.

There are many strange peaks, continuous and winding, haze lingering, beautiful and beautiful, beautiful as yaochi, and beautiful fairyland.

Shibayue Lake Scenic Spot

Shibayue Lake scenic area covers an area of 17.19 square kilometers. In the scenic area, the forest is dense, the waterfall pool is rich, the seasonal phase is bright, the environment is quiet, and the water landscape and biological seasonal landscape are the main characteristics.

"North Sichuan biological gene bank" dam scenic spot

Daba scenic area is mainly composed of broad and gentle "V" shaped canyon landscape and biological seasonal landscape. The canyon is long and winding, with red leaves like fire and layers of forest dying. In particular, more than 50000 mu of virgin forest dominated by Cyclobalanopsis glauca in Bashan mountains is rare, which is known as "an important biological gene bank in the northern marginal mountains of Sichuan Basin".

Nuoshui River Park

The park's nuoshui River Park is a natural underground karst Museum. The park is composed of three relatively independent scenic spots: nuoshui Dongtian scenic spot, Linjiang Lixia scenic spot and Kongshan Tianpan scenic spot, with a total area of 181 square kilometers. Nuoshuihe park is located in the north of Sichuan Basin, the south margin of Qinling orogenic belt and the east of Micangshan nappe structure belt, with subtropical humid monsoon climate. The exposed strata include Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Permian, Triassic and Quaternary. The limestone stratum with thickness of 1045m to 3231m is developed, which provides rich material basis for karstification. Since the Paleogene of 65 million years, it has been affected by nappe structure. The crust in the park rises in stages and develops four levels of denudation surface. As a result of the neotectonic movement, the terrain in the area appears obvious "layered structure", which decreases layer by layer from north to south, rises layer by layer from valley to watershed, and produces a large number of horizontal fissures and longitudinal fissures, which provides a good channel for karstification, thus making the karst area more stable
