JEHOL (" hot stream"), or CH'ENG-TE-FU, a city of China, formerly the seat of the emperor's summer palace, near 118° E. and 41° N., about 140 m.
Jehol was visited by Lord Macartney on his celebrated mission to the emperor K'ienlung in 1793 and it was to Jehol that the emperor Hienfeng retired when the allied armies of England and France occupied Peking in 1860.
In the vicinity of Jehol are numerous Lama monasteries and temples, the most remarkable being Potala-su, built on the model of the palace of the grand lama of Tibet at Potala.

 Palaeontology - Highlights - The Jehol biota
Gu (1962), refers to the Eosestheria-Ephemeropsis-Lycoptera fauna recovered from the Jehol Group exposed in the western Liaoning Province and the vicinity, in north-eastern China.
Before the discovery of the Jehol biota, feathers were only found in association with bird fossils.
However, among the Jehol Biota, feathers and feather-like structures have been found in association with many dinosaurs, such as Sinosauropteryx, Caudipteryx, Beipiaosaurus, Protarchaeopteryx, Sinornithosaurus and Microraptor.

Known as the Jehol biota, these ancient plants and animals are embedded in fine-grained sediments that preserve details: the veins of leaves and insect wings, the patterning of skin, and the filaments of feathers.
The Jehol fossils are enclosed in gray volcanic ash that was deposited on the bottom of shallow lakes.
Determining the age of the Jehol fossils is problematic.

Fossils of flies with long tubular mouthparts suggest that nectar-producing angiosperms were present at this time, and that there may have been plant-insect associations and coevolution present, even so early in the history of angiosperms.
The Jehol mammals were ground-dwellers or climbers, and all were carnivores or insectivores [3].
An unusual feature is that no crocodiles have been found in the Jehol Biota, and it is not known why they were apparently absent [3].

 China By Demetrius Charles Boulger (1893)- Chapter 22 from Nalanda Digital Library at NIT Calicut
But the conspirators could not keep the young emperor at Jehol indefinitely, and when, at the end of October, it became known that he was on the point of returning to Pekin, it was clear that the hour of conflict had arrived.
At Jehol the Board of Regency could do little harm; but once its pretensions and legality were admitted at the capital, all the ministers would have to take their orders from it, and to resign the functions which they had retained.
His patience during the two months of doubt and anxiety while the emperor remained at Jehol was matched by the vigor and promptitude that he displayed on the eventful 2d of November.

 Chinese Fossil Beds Astound Paleontologists
“The Jehol Group can be viewed as a window on succession in an Early Cretaceous terrestrial biome, in which an established biota merged with and was partially replaced by a novel biota composed of immigrants and new taxa that were evolving in situ.” But this is a story imposed on the evidence.
We expect the Jehol specimens, when sifted of fakes and correlated, will preserve the world-wide ‘reverse cone’ picture, and confirm the general pattern that gave rise to the punctuated equilibria model: abrupt appearance of animals and plants, stasis, and extinction.
The spectacularly preserved fossils in the Jehol Biota need to be interpreted in their own context, without evolutionary presuppositions adding a preferred seasoning.

 Dioramas | American Museum of Natural History
A major highlight of the Dinosaurs exhibition is an enormous, 700-square-foot walk-through diorama of China's Jehol Forest—the most detailed re-creation of a prehistoric environment ever attempted.
Considered one of the most important fossil areas in the world, the Jehol Forest, which existed in northeast China's Liaoning Province, has yielded an abundance of new discoveries, revealing a rich diversity of specimens that have been exceptionally well-preserved.
For the Jehol Forest diorama, the Museum created multiple scientifically accurate, fleshed-out, life-size models of more than 35 different species of dinosaurs, reptiles, early birds, insects, and plants, including several species never before reconstructed, ranging from a pigeon-sized feathered Confuciusornis to a formidable six-foot-tall feathered Beipiaosaurus.

In the recent years, the late Mesozoic Jehol Biota of northern China has shown the world some of the most astonishing fossil finds ever since the discovery of the first complete skeleton of Archaeopteryx in 1861, and thus has become the focus of many important paleontological researches in the global arena.
This book has pieced together the most up-to-date information on the Jehol Biota that is otherwise scattered in the vast technical literature and unavailable to the general readers.
The first two chapters give an inviting introduction to the Jehol Biota in terms of its history of studies, its main components, its scientific importance, its geographical, geological and biostratigraphic framework,and its renowned fossil discoveries.

 Evolution Cradle for Many Species: Chinese Jehol Biota   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
A series of volcanic eruptions some 130 million years ago produced the well-preserved fossils found in Jehol Biota, a Mesozoic site in northeast China which scientists believe is the evolutionary cradle of a number of today's species.
The exceptionally well-preserved Jehol Biota, located in Liaoning Province, provides a unique window into an early Cretaceous world, some 130 million years ago, which was populated by early birds and feathered dinosaurs.
The research has been hampered by the smuggling of fossils and by the manufacture of fraudulent and composite specimens, Zhou said.

To Jameson Le Verger claimed that he had been with Morley in the interior, near Jehol, during his absence from August to September; that he had found the young man seriously embarrassed financially and that they had started together for Pekin, although at the end of two days Morley again turned back to the north.
At the same time the fact that Le Verger had the young man's letter of credit, which he ultimately made use of, and yet waited around Pekin for nearly two weeks would indicate that he was reasonably confident that Morley would not turn up to embarrass his course of action.
One letter is to the viceroy of Jehol, the province in which the missing man was last known to have been, and the viceroy will furnish the traveler an armed native guard.

This name was coined as the discoveries were first found in an area that, at the time, was under the jurisdiction of Jehol Province.
The Jehol biota is endemic to East Asia and can also be found in Mongolia, Japan, Korea, and Siberia, although the best representatives of the group are found in China.
