There are many forest types in the world, however there's one type of forest without any species of plants and animals, very unique, we may call it the soil forest.
The soil forest composed of sand and clay and covering a wide area, is a wonderful natural geographical phenomena, very ancient, maybe can be regarded as one of the natural wonders. Rich in animal and plant fossils, such as huge oak wood fossil, Stegodon fossil, rhinoceros fossil, saber toothed tiger fossil and so on.
