There are many mountains in China that are called Mantou mountain or look like Mantou mountain, but only Jinan's Mantou mountain has been named as "the third geological famous mountain in the world" by UNESCO. Because of its unique Cambrian bottom conglomerate and pouring phenomenon, it has attracted the attention of geologists at home and abroad, and has been listed in Shandong Provincial Geological and natural heritage reserve.

historical value

There is a famous geological mountain named Mantou mountain in Zhangxia Town, Changqing District, Jinan City. It is located in the south of Jinan City, the north of Mount Tai, and the east of Beijing Shanghai and Beijing Fuzhou expressways. It is only 20 kilometers away from Jinan City. The altitude of Mantou mountain is 408 meters, which is named because it looks like Mantou. Its geological age belongs to Paleozoic Cambrian shallow marine sedimentary strata, about 530 million years ago, with a total thickness of 570.38 meters, More than 30 million years of marine sedimentary history has been recorded

Mantou mountain in Zhangxia Town, Changqing District, with a history of about 550 million years, is adjacent to Lingyan temple in the south, liantai mountain in the East and Wufeng mountain in the West. It is a standard section of Cambrian chronostratigraphy and biostratigraphy at home and abroad. It is the origin of Cambrian in North China, and has important scientific research value. As early as 1903, the American scholar Blake. Willis came here to investigate and named mantoushan shale, Zhangxia limestone, Gushan shale and Chaomidian limestone. In 1959, Lu Yanhao, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, divided the Cambrian system here into Jinzhuang stage, Xumao stage, Zhangxia stage, Gushan stage, Fengshan stage and Changshan stage. In 2002, Mantou mountain was approved as a provincial Geopark by the provincial government.

The Mantou formation is one of the important components of the North China platform caprock, mainly composed of terrigenous fine clastic rocks intercalated with carbonate rocks. Previous studies have suggested that the Mantou formation is composed of coastal swamp facies, tidal flat lagoon facies and coastal beach bar facies, It is indicated that the Early Cambrian sedimentary assemblage of North China platform was formed in deep-sea, semi deep-sea and shallow sea, and there was paleoslope and tectonic uplift. A detailed study of the basic geological characteristics of turbidite and slump accumulation is not only of great significance for further understanding the Paleozoic paleogeomorphic characteristics of North China platform and the formation and evolution of paleo buried hill, It can be used as a reference for the genesis and exploration of buried hills in Bohai Bay basin

(Xinhua Shandong channel) (Ministry of land and resources of the people's Republic of China)

Shandong channel of xinhuanet.com on December 1, 2005, located in Changqing District, Mantou mountain, about 550 million years ago, has attracted the attention of geologists at home and abroad for its unique Cambrian bottom conglomerate and backflow phenomenon, continuous strata, rich fossils and good outcrop. The reporter recently learned from Changqing District that Mantou mountain has been named as the world's third famous geological mountain by the world educational, scientific and cultural organization, and has been listed in the provincial geological and natural heritage reserve. According to reports, the Cambrian stratotype section of Mantou mountain is located on both sides of Jinpu railway to the south of Jinan City and the north of Taishan Mountain, 20-30 km away from Jinan City and 35-45 km away from Tai'an City. This area belongs to low mountains and hills, 200-400 meters above sea level, and belongs to warm temperate continental semi humid monsoon climate. In order to effectively protect this geological and historical data, the local government has invested 400000 yuan to build 5 billboards, 14 stone steps and 293 stone piles, and set up the Mantou mountain patrol team. At present, the application for the construction of Mantou mountain Geopark is in active progress.

Mantou mountain: a world famous mountain in Jinan

Mantou mountain, 408 meters above sea level, is located in Zhangxia Town, Changqing District, Jinan City. Local people used to call this mountain "Momo mountain" and "manshou mountain", which shows that the shape of this mountain is especially like Mantou. Mantou mountain is only 20 kilometers away from Jinan City. It's half an hour's drive out of the city.

There are many mountains in Zhangxia. Mantou mountain is just between them, which is not much different from the surrounding mountains. The mountain is full of weeds, scattered with some low trees. The whole mountain is a rocky mountain, with small pieces of farmland scattered on the hillside. The name looks tacky, and it's not too tall. In 2003, Mantou mountain was named the world's third famous geological mountain by UNESCO, and it was listed in the provincial geological and natural heritage reserve in that year. Because its rich wrinkles and aging vein faithfully recorded geological changes of more than 500 million years. It can be said that "concentration is the essence". When I raise my hand, I will cross 500 million years and go up the path along the mountain which is not too steep. A rock layer can be seen on the hillside. At first glance, this rock layer is very common, but it is priceless. Because this rock layer has recorded geological changes for more than 500 million years. The strata are nearly two meters high and the layers are very obvious. According to Yu Feng, the most pink layer at the bottom is granite. The contrast with this layer is very obvious. The upper layer is close to the blue gray ancient granite. The time interval between the two is 250 million years, while the ancient granite is about 280 million years ago. In other words, the distance between people squatting on the ground and raising their hands easily spans a whole 530 million years of history. People have to feel the vicissitudes of life, changing fast ah! If you go up again, you will find a small mound full of gravel. Don't think it's just an ordinary hill. It's a famous gathering place of trilobite fossils. The small trilobites have witnessed the history of the ocean. Trilobites are ancient arthropods that lived between 600 million and 200 million years ago. At that time, trilobites occupied almost the whole ocean, which was a dominant species in the Paleozoic era. By the Mesozoic, it was completely extinct. At present, more than 4000 kinds of trilobite fossils have been found in the world. China is one of the countries with the most trilobite fossils, with more than 1000 kinds. Trilobite fossils are also known as swallow stones or bat stones. It has a long history, according to records, song, Ming and Qing dynasties have been playing, known as "Duofu stone", "Hongfu stone". In the eyes of ordinary people, trilobite fossils are "playthings", but they are real "treasures" in the eyes of geological researchers. Since the beginning of last century, generations of geological researchers in China have been exploring and studying continuously, and 17 trilobite biological zones have been found in Mantou mountain area. Mantou mountain is determined as the most complete Cambrian stratotype section, thus becoming the standard mountain for the division of Cambrian geological structure in China. Therefore, Mantou mountain has become a world famous geological mountain. Every year, countless geological college students and relevant experts visit Mantou mountain to see its vicissitudes. Behind the real name is the rich products. Mantou mountain is not an isolated small mountain, its remaining veins are winding and connected. From a distance, one of the eastern branches looks like a big Buddha's head. Its nose, eyes and mouth are vivid. Such a beautiful mountain certainly has a beautiful legend.

According to local people, Mantou mountain is not only rich in geology, but also is said to contain gold. It is said that a long time ago, there was a spring in the east of the mountain. The spring bubbled and gushed all the year round, and the spring was clear. One year, a craftsman who came from the south to repair iron pots and pans came to the spring and sat down to have a rest. Get up after the rest
