The panel features a detailed paleogeographic map showing the extent of the "Ancient Bashu Lake" (????), which covered the region during the Middle Jurassic period, approximately 180 million years ago.The Chinese text on the right, titled "Formation of the Lake Basin" (????), explains how tectonic movements (the Indosinian Orogeny) caused the uplift of the basin's periphery, transforming it from an ocean into a vast inland lake. The exhibit uses a clean, modern design with a deep blue, aquatic-themed background to create an engaging and immersive learning experience. This image is perfect for illustrating topics related to geology, paleogeography, Chinese natural history, science communication, and museum design.
