湖北神农架世界地质公园地质遗迹分类及地学意义

湖北神农架世界地质公园是以(秦岭)造山带地质构造为特征的构造地貌及山地生态综合性地质公园。公园内地质遗迹和景观类型多样,共包括地质(体、层)剖面、地质构造、古生物、矿物与矿床、地貌景观、水体景观和环境地质遗迹景观7个大类、20个类共100多处地质遗迹景点,其中世界级地质遗迹景观共计5处。在前人研究总结的基础上,就地质公园内地质遗迹的地貌学、构造地质学、地层岩石学、化石及古生物等方面的地学意义进行了探讨。结果表明,湖北神农架世界地质公园内地质遗迹种类丰富,具有较高的科研、科普价值,园内多处地质遗迹具有全球对比意义。

The Classification of Geoheritages in the Shennongjia Global Geopark in Hubei Province and Its Geological Significance

The Shennongjia Global Geopark of Hubei Province is an ecological comprehensive geopark with the representative sceneries of mountain landscapes characterized particularly by geological structure of Qinling orogenic belts. There is a diversity of geoheritages sites in the Shennongjia Global Geopark comprising 7 categories: geological profiles, geological structure, biogliph, mineral and mineral deposit, landform landscape, water landscape and environmental geological heritages, with totally more than 100 geoheritages, including 5 world-class geoheritages sites. Based on the previous scientific research, this paper has discussed the significant meaning of the geosites in the Shennongjia geopark from the perspectives of geomorphology, structural geology, formation petrology and paleontological fossils. The results indicate that there are plentiful kinds of geoheritages in the Shennongjia Global Geoparks of Hubei Province, some of which have not only high scientific and conversation values but also the global geological comparison significance.
