Abstract:Our country is abundant in Paleontological fossils, which are important materials to determine the geological era, to study the Paleoecological environment and explore earth evolution. Some important fossils or fossil producing areas are precious natural heritages in our country and even in the world. In this work, on the basis of studying typical producing areas of fossils, fossils genusspecies, protection significance, physical geography, topogeological conditions and present condition of 17 representative fossil producing areas in China have been summarized and discussed in detail. Through field investigation of 74 museums about paleontological fossils, basic situation of the Paleontological fossils museums in every province has been known. According to field investigation and synthetical analysis, types of the Paleontological fossils protection works have been divided. It is regarded that the Paleontological fossils protection works in our country can be divided into two categories, one is fossil producing area protection work, the other is fossil specimen protection work. The effect of water, the freeze thawing, the weathering and the topogeological conditions to the fossil producing area protection work have been analyzed. The effect of temperature and the humidity to the fossil specimen protection work has been analyzed as well. On these basis, plan and suggestions have been put forward for Paleontological fossil protection work in our country.
