Abstract:Five dinosaur fossil specimens of the early and middle Jurassic ages from Laochangqing Valley,Lufeng County in Southwest China were studied with X-ray Diffractometry(XRD),Raman micro-spectroscopy(RS) and polarization microscopy.We show that,besides CaCO_3 and SiO_2,there also exists phosphate in the forms of Ca_5F(PO_4)_3 and Ca_(10)(PO_4)_5CO_3F_(1.5)(OH)_(0.5) in these dinosaur fossils.The RS of phosphate showed the presence of a band at 966.5 cm~(-2),and that phosphate only existed inside the dinosaur fossils,not on the surface.The experiments also demonstrated that the content of Calcium Fluoride phosphate [Ca_5F(PO_4)_3] did not have direct relationship with the burial time of the fossils.The experimental evidence suggests that the content of Ca_5F(PO_4)_3 may be decided by environmental conditions at the time the fossils formed.Data analysis revealed that the ecological environment consisted inland lakes and basins in the Laochangqing Valley in early and middle Jurassic ages.
