Fossils dating back to 530 million years ago have been found in northwest China's Shaanxi province, local public communication authorities said Thursday.

The colorful coral rocks were found on a hill in Hanyuan Town, Ningqiang County. Circular patterns can be seen in the rocks.

Prehistoric fossil researcher Wei Binghua identified the rocks as fossils of molluscan invertebrate pelagos, a low-level marine animal.
