名词 n.

英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A type of bulbous stone formation found in Romania, sometimes called a "living stone" or "living rock" because they are popularly believed to slowly grow, and to reproduce when pieces break off and become new concretions; whether they actually grow in size over time, and/or are concretions, is disputed.
    — The Cochirleni formation is mainly made of sands and quartzous sandstones, richly glauconitic, generally shaly, with trovants; the typical section lies in the Danube's cliff, from the Hinog Valley towards the south up to Cochirleni and on the Pestera-Cochirleni Valley up to Ivrinezu Mic.
