Guizhou Echo | 化石里的梦幻，探秘贵州《深海》
电影《深海》上映，梦幻般的场面勾勒了一个有关大海的传说，你知道吗？在贵州，同样有一个关于深海的故事。
Have you seen the film "Deep Sea" ? In Guizhou, there is a dreamy story about the sea.
1950年，古生物专家胡承志先生来到兴义，他偶然在石板上看见了一些花纹，举世闻名的兴义化石群便被发掘。
The XingYi Fossil Group was excavated in 1950 when Mr Hu Chengzhi, a paleontology expert, came to XingYi and happened to see some patterns on the stones.
兴义化石群涵盖了几乎整个三叠纪的海生爬行动物进化面貌，这在全球都是难得的发现。
The XingYi fossil group covers almost the entire evolution process of the marine reptile in Triassic period, which is a rare find for the world.
因兴义地区经历了从闭塞海域向开阔海域转变的过程，兴义化石群完整地还原了三叠纪不同时期的海域状况。
As the area underwent a transition from a closed sea to an open sea. The fossil group restores the story of Guizhou's deep sea.
早在2.4亿年前，兴义西接陆地，东接黔东南无垠深海，兴义则是一片闭塞海域浅海。
As early as 240 million years ago, XingYi was bordered by land to the west, and east to a boundless deep sea. Meanwhile, XingYi was a shallow closed sea.
从化石判断，当时的海域内主要生活着一群鳍龙类生物；
Judging from the fossils, at that time, mainly the Sauropterygia lived in the sea.
鳍龙的形态与蜥蜴相似，脑袋呈三角形。
The Sauropterygia is similar to the form of lizard, with a triangular-shaped head.
鳍龙游泳能力较弱，他们一般生活在局限的水域中，拖着宽扁身体在这片浅海内游动。
The Sauropterygia were weak swimmers. They generally lived in confined waters, dragging their flat bodies in this shallow sea.
其中，兴义化石群内出土数量最多的胡氏贵州龙就属于这一大类。
Keichousaurus hui, the mostly found fossils within the group, falls into this broad category.
随着后期地壳运动，海域变化，兴义的生物群也发生了转变。
With the later crustal movements, the seas changed and the biota of XingYi shifted.
在百万年后，浅海逐渐变得开阔，兴义动物群出现深海特征。
After millions of years, the shallow seas gradually became open sea. The XingYi fauna has the deep-sea features.
海水逐渐变得更深了，大量深海生物的化石，如菊石和海百合化石出现。
The sea became deeper, many fossils of chrysolite and crinoid appeared.
除了海生植物化石，还有鱼龙和纯信龙类脊椎类动物的化石。
Fossils of ichthyosaurus are found.
这个时期，海百合类植物游弋在这片深海，海域内不再发现鳍龙，
During this period, crinoid roamed in deep water, with no Sauropterygias found.
鱼龙和纯信龙类具有远洋迅游能力的动物则在海内四处游动。
Good swimmers such as Pterodactylus were moving around in the sea.
