新疆奇台的将军戈壁因纪念唐代一位姓江的将军而得名,那里的茫茫戈壁一望无迹、寸草不生,当年江将军就是因被戈壁上的海市蜃楼所骗而全军覆没。今天,这里却又因发现了硅化木原始森林、恐龙沟、石钱滩(有大量类似铜钱的海洋生物化石)等大量古生物化石而名声大震。 The Gobi Desert in Qitai, Xinjiang, was named after a general surnamed Jiang who surnamed Tang in the Tang Dynasty. There, the vast desert was deserted. When General Jiang was fooled by the mirage on the Gobi Desert, the entire army was annihilated. Today, however, it has become famous for its large fossils of ancient fossils such as Silversmith forests, dinosaur ditch, Shiqiantan (a large number of fossilized marine creatures similar to copper coins).
