Jiaxian Fossil Museum (Temporarily Closed) Introduction
Located in the northeast of Kaohsiung City, Jiaxian District not only produces taro and bamboo shoots but is also almost entirely composed of marine sedimentary rocks. The area features nine major fossil sites, and the nearby Nanzi Xian River is a fossil paradise where visitors can directly experience the joy of fossil collecting. This unique geological background led to the establishment of the Jiaxian Fossil Museum. The museum mainly showcases the ecological relics of fish and shellfish from the Taiwan inland sea, divided into four display areas: the Jiaxian Ongrong Snail Fossil Museum, local Jiaxian fossils, fossils from various parts of Taiwan categorized by age, and fossils from around the world. With a collection of over 6,000 items, it has become a distinctive professional museum significant for both academic research and tourism. For those who love to appreciate and study fossil relics, the Jiaxian Fossil Museum is a must-visit destination.
