Taizishan paleometeorite

Taizi mountain is located in the northwest of LIUQIANHU Town, yaoqianhu town. It is named after the observation platform built on the top of the mountain in ancient times. The altitude is 100 meters and the relative elevation difference is 30 meters. The Taizishan meteorite is 100 meters long, 50 meters wide, 60 meters high and weighs more than 200 tons.

The granite is gneissic structure, and the meteorite breccia is ellipsoid in plane. Due to the long-term weathering and denudation, the southwest and east sides are asymmetric. All the characteristics of meteorite breccia can be seen on the profile, which is magical and spectacular. According to the needs of scientific research, a 50 meter long hole was opened in the middle of the meteorite to observe its core

History and culture

Black stone

In 1971, when the regional geological survey team of Liaoning Bureau of Geology and mineral resources filled in 1 / 20 geological map of Shenyang, according to the clues from the masses, some "black stones" were found in manshou mountain and talc mountain (meteorite mountain) in Lixiang Township, Dongling District, Shenyang City.

Research process

Therefore, the Geological Bureau of Liaoning Province sent a geological team to explore. After exploration, sampling and testing, the "black stone" is confirmed
