Snail
The snail is a terrestrial taxon of the mollusk phylum gastropod, which belongs to the group of invertebrates. The body is soft and usually protected by a spiral hard shell. The head has two pairs of antennae, the longer one for sensing the environment and the shorter one associated with smell and taste. The foot is muscular and moves slowly on various surfaces by secreting mucus. The shell is one of its distinctive features. The shape and color of the shell vary from type to type. It is not only a protective device for snails, but also helps them retain moisture and adapt to a dry environment. It is an omnivorous animal that feeds on the leaves, stems and fruits of plants, and some species also eat humus or small insects.

Monarch butterfly group 3D animation model
Monarch butterfly is a large butterfly, belonging to the family Papilionidae. The wings are orange with blackish veins and margins, and a row of small white spots along the edges. This unique color combination makes it very eye-catching when flying. The life cycle includes four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. The larvae feed on milkweed, a plant that contains toxins that gives monarch butterflies a certain defense against natural enemies after they become adults. The adults mainly feed on nectar, have strong flight ability and long migration distance. The most famous feature is its large-scale migratory behavior. This migratory behavior is one of the most spectacular phenomena in the insect world.

Pyrolusite with limonite inclusions
Pyrolusite (pyrolusite), the composition of manganese dioxide, is a common manganese mineral. Pyrolusite containing 63.19% manganese is an important manganese ore. Pyrolusite is very soft, its color is light gray to black, with a metallic luster. Pyrolusite is generally massive or kidney-like or earthy, sometimes with a radioactive fibrous morphology. Interestingly, some pyrolusite also exhibits a dendritic attachment to the rock surface, known as pseudoliths. Pyrolusite is other manganese ore into, in the swamps, lakes and other sediments can also form pyrolusite.
High Purity Peruvian Pyrite
This pyrite is known for its brass-colored luster and distinctive striated surface. Pyrite derives its name from the Greek word pyr, which means fire, because it produces sparks when it collides with other minerals or metals. This pyrite is usually in the shape of a cube, with a highly glossy surface, giving a mirror-like visual effect. Not only are they of great value in mineralogical research, they are also favored by collectors and mineral lovers for their beautiful appearance.

Mica
Mica (mica) is a rock mineral, is made of potassium, aluminum, magnesium, iron, lithium and other layered structure of aluminum silicate. Its English name mica comes from the Latin micare, which means "shiny. In ancient China, mica was called "Tianpi" and "Dijin", and Tianpi Mountain, the origin of mica in Inner Mongolia, was named after it. Polytypic mica is prevalent, of which monoclinic is common, followed by trigonal, and the rest are rare. Mica is usually false hexagonal or rhombohedral plate, flake, columnar crystal form. The color varies with the change of chemical composition, mainly with the increase of Fe content. The characteristics are insulation and high temperature resistance.

Gabon red soil samples
Gabonese laterite is an important mineral resource, mainly distributed in the Gabonese region of Africa. Llaterite is a type of soil rich in iron and aluminum that is commonly formed in tropical and subtropical regions. Gabonese laterite is mainly composed of iron oxides and aluminum oxides and is rich in minerals such as hematite and bauxite. Due to the large amount of iron oxides, Gabonese laterites are usually red or brownish red. The laterite is formed by long-term weathering and leaching under tropical climatic conditions. The parent rock on the surface gradually decomposes in an alternating wet and dry environment, forming a soil layer rich in iron and aluminum.

diorite
Diorite is a representative rock of neutral deep crystal rock, and it is also one of the main rock types in granite stone. It is mainly composed of plagioclase (medium-more feldspar) and one or several dark minerals, of which the total amount of dark minerals is generally about 20-35%. No or only a small amount of potassium feldspar, generally not more than 10% of the total feldspar. Does not contain or contains very little quartz, the amount of which does not exceed 5% of the total amount of light-colored minerals. Dark minerals are mainly amphibole, sometimes pyroxene and biotite. The accessory minerals are mainly apatite, magnetite, ilmenite and titanite.
synenite
It is a kind of magmatic rock, which belongs to neutral deep intrusive rock. light gray, with grainy, porphyritic structure. The content of silica (about 60%) and the diorite is quite, but the alkali (sodium oxide, potassium oxide) is slightly higher than the diorite. It is mainly composed of feldspar, hornblende and biotite, with no or very little quartz. Alkaline feldspar (usually orthoclase, microcline, striated feldspar) accounts for more than 70% of the feldspar. It is often a small rock strain, which forms a complex with basic rocks and alkaline rocks.

Ore-bearing fibrous calcite
Calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral, the most common natural calcium carbonate is it. Therefore, calcite is a widely distributed mineral. Calcite is a stable form of calcium carbonate under normal temperature and pressure, soft, white or gray or transparent, calcite crystal shape is varied, their aggregates can be a cluster of crystals, can also be granular, massive, fibrous, milky, earthy and so on. Knocking calcite can get a lot of square pieces, hence the name calcite.

Fossilized Tooth of Hornosaurus
Caueratosaurus is also translated as Cryptocoratosaurus, which means "face with slender horns" in Greek. Like all the lower order dinosaurs, the hornophorosaurus was a herbivorous dinosaur. During the Cretaceous period, flowering plants spread across the continent, and Coriolus probably fed on dominant flowering plants, as well as ferns, cycads, and coniferous plants. Coriatops may have used their sharp beak-like beaks to bite off leaves or needles. The fiber-hornosaurus is 2 meters long and may weigh between 68kg and 200kg.
Fossil teeth of Triceratops
Triceratops, a herbivorous dinosaur of the genus Triceratops, is a bird-buttock hornosaurus. Triceratops is a kind of dinosaur like rhinoceros. It has heavy appearance, thick legs, three horns on its head, a large bone plate extending backward at the back of its skull to form a neck shield, a short horn above its beak and two long horns above its orbit. Triceratops horns are defensive weapons and can scare off predators. Its tail is short and sharp, and its feet are like hooves.
