This site is the only example of a fossilised Walchia (primitive conifer) forest ever found in its original growth position. Animal tracks meander along the ancient forest floor, preserving a "snapshot" of life in the Permian Period 285 million years ago. These tracks are the oldest evidence of herding behavior in animals.
