A Spectaclar Private Museum
Many people in Sterlitamak
don’t even know how the Sheehany Mountains emerged and how
they had been part of an ancient sea that was covering the whole Republic of
Bashkortostan 250 millions years ago.
Four generations of women from one family living in Moscow have been studying the Sheehan Mountains
for a long period of time.
The first sea appeared in the Urals range of mountains
more than one milliard years ago. Nowadays these large areas are a very
important stratigraphic section represented by the open-cast mine of the Soda Industrial
complex. There are also vegetation remains of different forms from leaves and fragments
of trees.
Scientists from all over the world come to Sterlitamak to organize
geological and paleontological venues. In the place called Shakh-Tau, there
have been 4 international congresses. Scientists from Canada, Italy, Argentina, Africa, Germany, France, England
and other countries come here regularly to have the unique opportunity to see
and study the reefs of the ocean on the surface.
