While digging a ditch, I unexpectedly hit a 480 million year old "treasure"

An unexpected geological event has just occurred in Daozhen County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province (China). While digging a ditch for irrigation, workers discovered a cave containing a 480 million year old “ treasure ”. (Photo: jfdaily)

This cave belongs to the Ordovician geological layer, formed about 480 million years ago – a time when the Earth did not have dinosaurs. (Photo: jfdaily)

The cave is located deep in the limestone mountains near the Dai Sa Ha Nature Reserve, an area that has been virtually untouched by humans. Therefore, it is considered a rare “ geological treasure ”, containing pristine sediments and strange mineral structures never seen before. (Photo: jfdaily)

Inside the cave is a dazzling mineral world. The domes are over 100 meters high, each drop of water creates a calcium bicarbonate-rich aerosol, contributing to the formation of stalactites, stalagmites, stone flowers, stone corals and countless unique sedimentary structures. (Photo: jfdaily)

In particular, the survey team also discovered a series of rare cave gems with high purity, smooth white like jade. (Photo: jfdaily)

The underground water flowing through hundreds of meters of transparent limestone is the key factor in creating this unique sediment quality. (Photo: jfdaily)

Another highlight that has amazed scientists is the “cave hall” of tens of thousands of square meters with thousands of snow-white stalactites. (Photo: jfdaily)

The landscape here is likened to a "crystal forest" hidden underground. (Photo: jfdaily)

Some rare mineral structures, which only exist in theoretical models, also appear on a large scale here. (Photo: jfdaily)

Geologists say this is a unique “ sedimentary treasure ” in China with outstanding geological research and landscape value. (Photo: jfdaily)
