Features: The Mesozoic strata in regions such as Liaoxi and Jibeibei in China, formerly known as "Rehe," are renowned worldwide for their abundant, well-preserved, and uniquely diverse fossil assemblage—the Rehe Biota. The discovery of precious fossils such as ancient birds, feathered dinosaurs, primitive mammals, amniote amphibians, and angiosperms has repeatedly amazed the world of paleontology. This book introduces the brief history of Rehe Biota research, compiling the latest research progress and achievements in fields such as stratigraphy and era, paleoinvertebrate, paleovertebrate, and paleobotany. It is the first to present the Rehe Biota in a vivid and illustrated manner. This book serves as a reference and appreciation guide for paleontologists, evolutionary biologists, geologists, university and college faculty and students, as well as individuals interested in fossils and the evolution of life.
