Let You Dig Treasure, You Dug Out The Tomb Of The Emperor!
Chapter 147 You have dug up [T-Rex]! [Part 1] Ask for custom, ask for monthly ticket, ask for flower
The hillside is nearly 200 meters high and stretches for several kilometers, with no grass growing.
This is the Mesozoic rock formation Lu Yuan has been looking for.
He stood at the end of the woods and scanned directly.
"What did you find?"
"dinosaur fossil?
"Where?"
Netizens are curious.
At this point, the scan was over, and the hillside was glittering with gold.
The dense golden light is inexhaustible, at least five or six thousand.
Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva, and just wanted to shout at this moment.
He walked quickly towards the hillside and came to the first treasure spot.
On the soil-grey surface rock, on the solid soil, a paw print of about thirty centimeters is clearly visible.
No digging, visible to the naked eye.
Lu Yuan crouched down, pointed at the paw print and said, "Look, the remains of fossils!"
"I'm going, is this a paw print?"
"Dinosaur paw prints?"
"This, this is found? How did you find out?"
"With such a large paw print, you can see even if you are not blind? 55
Lu Yuan said: "This hillside is the destination I have been looking for for more than half a month."
He patted the land next to him with his palm: "Very iconic Mesozoic rock formation, luckily, dinosaur fossils should be found here."
Don't look at the thousands of treasure points scanned, but these thousands of treasure points, nearly 60-70%, are estimated to be trace fossils.
That is, a fossil like this claw print.
What is really precious are the skeletons.
He stuck the hoe on the side of the backpack, grabbed the wild knife, left a mark on the side, and walked forward.
paw prints, paw prints...
These paw prints are large and small, most of them are large and few are small.
"This should be the claw print of Victorinox Northern Dragon.
"That too."
"Well, this one too.
After walking two kilometers, Lu Yuan judged from the paw prints left on the surface that there are at least three traces of dinosaurs here.
The discovery on his side caused a great sensation at home and abroad.
Professors and scholars from Longguo University of Geosciences were surprised when they heard about this.
Dinosaur and ancient human sites are not the same as ancient tombs.
In archaeology, the attitude towards ancient tombs has always been inactive.
However, the remains of prehistoric creatures are different from fossils, and all relevant circles are actively exploring these works.
The University of Geosciences is considered to be the most popular in the industry. They have discovered a lot of dinosaur fossils over the years.
The search method is more efficient than Lu Yuan, mainly using satellite photos to locate where there may be Mesozoic rock formations, and then looking for them one by one.
Their footprints are all over the desert and no-man's land, and they have also searched in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, but there are too many wild animals there, which is not suitable for large-scale staff to explore.
"It's really a Mesozoic rock formation."
"Is this young man very experienced. 99
"There are paw prints!"
When they saw that Lu Yuan had found fossilized dinosaur footprints, professors and scholars from the University of Geosciences lit up.
There are a lot of dinosaur fossils in the Long Kingdom, which can be said to be a big dinosaur country.
But a lot of dinosaur fossils does not mean all.
When talking about dinosaurs, the first thing that comes to mind must be Tyrannosaurus Rex.
As for the Tyrannosaurus Rex, so far, the Dragon Kingdom has not found it.
Although no Tyrannosaurus rex was found, it was discovered that Tyrannosaurus rex, a large carnivorous dinosaur second only to Tyrannosaurus Rex in size.
However, Zhucheng Tyrannosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex belong to the same family, and are close relatives.
Lu Yuan's phone rang without any accident.
Wu Jie's, Li Huakai's, Fang Hai's, major museums...
Lu Yuan took a few calls, chatted briefly, and continued searching.
Almost all paw prints on the surface, most of which are underneath.
This kind of rock layer is hard to dig, and it can't be too fast.
Even Lu Yuan doesn't know whether this is a trace fossil or a skeleton fossil.
If the following is a bone fossil, digging too hard, it is easy to damage.
So just dig a little bit.
But that didn't stop Lu Yuan.
Just dig along the vicinity.
His excavation work is in progress, and on the other side, experts from the Institute of Geosciences are also on their way.
They asked Hu Shaping to tie up Lu Yuan, and said that they could assist in the excavation for free, as long as they were allowed to study.
Lu Yuan naturally would not refuse.
In such a big place, he couldn't dig it alone in a short time.
He came to a place where the golden light was denser to dig.
"Ahh~"
Seeing the bright red color of the rock layer below, Lu Yuan hurriedly stopped, dropped his hoe, and drew out his wild knife.
The fossil was about half a meter long. He forked a knife blade into it and cut it a little bit along the top of the fossil.
Thanks to having such a weapon, otherwise it is really difficult to dig.
Digging up the nearby earth and rock formations revealed a section of the fossil.
On the rock, is a fossil shaped like a thigh bone, about thirty centimeters in length.
"You dug up a [fossil]"
【Fossil】: Attribute: Early Cretaceous. Value: 5 million.
"Early Cretaceous..." Lu Yuan continued to dig along the side, thinking about what dinosaurs existed in this period.
Without thinking much, I dug again.
"You dug up a [fossil]"
【Fossil】: Attribute: Late Cretaceous. Value: 6 million.
Lu Yuan was stunned and glanced again, it was indeed the late Cretaceous period.
The current scientific literature generally divides the Cretaceous into two periods: late and early, totaling 12 periods.
So although it is one morning and one night, the time span may exceed 60 million years.
In one place, fossils from two different periods overlapped.
"You dug up a [fossil]"
[Fossil]: Attribute: Late Jurassic. value:?
Lu Yuan was petrified.
His pupils were slightly dilated, why did Jurassic come to join in the fun?
"Grass, dinosaur, I see a dinosaur!
"Old Lu, remove your big head and let me take a closer look! 39
"This dinosaur fossil is so complete!"
"This piece can be handed down!"
Only then did Lu Yuan slowly return to his senses, and only then did he notice that the system did not estimate the value of this fossil.
Generally, there is only one reason for such a situation, and the value is too high.
He focused his eyes and saw a dinosaur on the stone, a dinosaur fossil that was so complete that biologists screamed.
This fossil is a cross-section, about one meter five long, and above it is a body about thirty centimeters long, the bones are evenly divided, and two claws... No, not claws, but wings.
This dinosaur has wings.
Its wings are spread out, about half a meter.
"Pterodactyl!" Lu Yuan recognized it at a glance: "This is a pterodactyl!
He did not think about why the fossils of different periods were together for a while, and said, "This is a dinosaur from the late Jurassic period, which existed until the Cretaceous period. Strictly speaking, it is not a dinosaur, but a close relative of the dinosaur, but so Complete fossils are rare.
Although both Jurassic and Cretaceous have this dinosaur, but the system label is Late Jurassic, then it is.
Such a complete piece of dinosaur fossil was preserved and found, and the scholars who were coming were so excited that they could not wait to fly over immediately.
Foreign experts are also very itchy.
"You dug up a [fossil]"
【Fossil】: Attribute: Early Cretaceous. Value: 20 million.
This fossil is about fifty centimeters long, with a head and a long mouth.
"This should be a duck-billed dinosaur..." Lu Yuan guessed in his heart, the main reason is that this mouth fossil is too unique, few other dinosaurs are like this.
"You dug up [fossils]
【Fossil】: Attribute: Early Cretaceous. Value: 15 million.
In a blink of an eye, it was dark.
The biggest gain is the complete skeleton of the pterodactyl, and the rest are fragmentary skeletons.
Half a head, thigh bones, or huge teeth.
Fossils of this type are of high value.
Only from the incomplete fossils, except for the little duck-billed dinosaur, the rest of Lu Yuan could only preliminarily judge whether they were carnivorous dinosaurs or herbivorous dinosaurs, and could not determine their specific identities.
"Boom boom boom! 35
While he was sitting on the rock formation to eat, helicopters flew over.
People from the Institute of Geosciences University came, and Gu Deyong also brought people here.
The helicopter landed on the flat ground not far from the hillside, and a group of people got off the helicopter and ran towards this side.
Half an hour later, a group of people arrived here.
Use a flashlight along the way, avoid the paw print fossils that Lu Yuan left a mark on, and go straight to Lu Yuan's side.
"Mr. Lu, hello, get to know Ma Heguang, Institute of Geosciences University.
"Hello, Teacher Ma. 99
Lu Yuan said: "Let's rest first, and then dig slowly tomorrow morning."
"Okay, let's go look at the fossils you excavated first. 99
It was dark and not suitable for excavation work.
They went to several places where Lu Yuan excavated and saw the complete skeleton of the pterodactyl.
Several other fossils were also seen.
"Huh~" Ma Heguang stared at the fossil of the head and mouth, fascinated.
Lu Yuan asked, "What's wrong with Teacher Ma?"
Ma Heguang didn't speak, looked at it for a while, then looked around and said, "I'm afraid there are a lot of dinosaur fossils in this place. 99
Lu Yuan was quite surprised: "How does Mr. Ma know?
"Guess.
66....99
"But there is also some evidence." "Ma Heguang pointed to the fossil and said, "Do you know what this is? 99
Lu Yuan said: "It should be a little duck-billed dragon.
"you know?"
Now it was Ma Heguang's turn to be dumbfounded.
Lu Yuan said: "The mouth is quite similar.""
"It is indeed a duck-billed dragon.
He used an affirmative tone: "I have dug in the male male, and it is almost the same as this one.
Lu Yuan took the opportunity to ask: "The duck-billed dinosaur is in the Early Cretaceous, and the pterodactyl is in the late Jurassic. Why are they together?"
Ma Heguang said, "It's not surprising that the survival time of pterodactyls overlapped with that of duck-billed dragons.
"But there are fossils of different dinosaurs here, and they are quite well preserved. Based on my years of excavating dinosaurs, I speculate that the amount of dinosaur fossils in this place will not be small.
Certainly not small, nearly ten thousand golden light.
The two chatted and found a place to sit down.
After chatting for a while, it was not too early, so it was time to rest.
Instead of pitching tents, they took out their sleeping bags and lay flat.
In the early morning of the next day, after a simple meal and drink, the excavation work continued.
Lu Yuan glanced at the scope of this Mesozoic rock formation, intending to dig out the rest, give them directions, and then leave.
Just leave the rest to them, he doesn't have time to get them out one by one.
With a pickaxe in his right hand and a wild knife in his left, he stood on a slope to dig.
Others are stripping the fossils he has dug up.
The discovery was mainly done by Lu Yuan.
"Ahh~"
"You dug up a [fossil]"
【Fossil】: Attribute: Late Triassic. Value: 40 million.
Lu Yuan is numb, how come this special Triassic has appeared.
It's too messy.
He couldn't figure it out at all.
This is not the same as the fossils of ancient human beings, which he can infer a complete line from the fossils he found.
These can't be done, he can't do it.
Originally it was a group of beasts, and at that time there was no life with high intelligence at all.
Everything can only be explained by the word accident.
He dug out the section of the fossil, which was about five meters long and had half a dinosaur body on it.
The head is nearly complete, the spine and porpoise are clearly visible, and there are no bones of the legs and feet.
In the eyes of ordinary people, dinosaurs all look the same, but in Lu Yuan's eyes, nearly 50% of the complete fossils are already complete.
This is an agile dragon!
"Mr. Ma." Lu Yuan shouted, and Ma and Guang quickly came over: "What's the matter? What did you find?"
Lu Yuan pointed, Ma Heguang looked at it and clicked his tongue in surprise.
After observing for a long time, he frowned.
If you find it yourself, the expert will surely find it too.
Ma Heguang said: "The shape is quite complete, it should be an agile dragon.
From his words, Lu Yuan concluded that this expert is a real senior.
Lu Yuan said: "During the late Triassic, is the fossil segment of this piece too broad?"
"It's a bit broad, but don't be too suspicious.
Ma Heguang smiled and said, "This situation is very common."
"common?"
"Yes, very common.
Ma Heguang said: "When I went to the city to dig for fossils, I encountered a situation that was even more bizarre than this."
"On the same section, there are at most seven layers of fossils from different periods of the Cretaceous period. Do you think it is strange?"
"...Seventh floor." Lu Yuan nodded, which was quite strange.
"This is not the most bizarre. 233 Ma Heguang smiled and said: "There are more than three layers of dinosaur footprints superimposed on some rocks over there, and they are all dinosaurs from different periods. There are footprints under the dinosaur footprints. At that time, we A group of people can't figure out what's going on even if they want to break their heads.
"and after?"
"Later? Then I don't want to. 35
"..." I thought you guys figured it out, your feelings are just rotten.
"This place is very similar to Zhucheng. So far, you have found more than 200 fossils. If you add those three-toed remains fossils, it will be close to 500. This scale is probably second only to Zhucheng, Lufeng and Ziyi... ... those places."
"Generally, the bigger the scale, the more fossils from different periods appear together. So don't think about it, because you don't understand it.
The young man who came over asked: "Mr. Ma, do you think Tyrannosaurus Rex will be found here? 35
Ma Heguang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It is theoretically possible, but it has not been discovered yet.
He looked at the fossil in front of him and said: "It's quite possible to find a Tyrannosaurus in this place, but Tyrannosaurus rex, it should be unlikely.
The academic world thinks that Tyrannosaurus rex is an endemic species abroad, and the Dragon Kingdom has indeed not found any fossils of Tyrannosaurus rex.
However, some fossilized footprints of Tyrannosaurus rex have been found, but there is too little evidence to prove it.
After a few chats, Lu Yuan continued to dig.
This digging took a month.
For a few kilometers nearby, Lu Yuan has dug up a lot.
Counting the excavations by archaeologists, the total number of fossils has exceeded 5,000!
Not only is there a large number, but there are also many types, and even marine fossils have been found.
The findings here have shocked academic circles around the world.
Even Ma Guanghe, although he guessed that this place might be similar in size to Zhucheng, he was only guessing. He still felt like a dream after he had dug so much.
Among them, more than five nearly complete dinosaur fossils were found.
A pterodactyl, a Dongyangsaurus, a tyrannosaurus, three broods of dinosaur eggs, and a primitive archaeopteryx!
Among them, Dongyanglong is the largest, with a body length of more than 15 meters.
When they were first dug up, everyone was dumbfounded.
Lu Yuan was standing at the bottom of the hill at the moment, and there was a treasure spot on the slope here.
"Hugh!
"You dug up a [fossil]"
【Fossil】: Attribute: Late Cretaceous. value:?
Lu Yuan can now use the question mark to determine the preciousness of the fossil below.
I'm afraid it's another semi-complete dinosaur fossil.
Fossils on rock walls are more difficult for ordinary people to dig, but they are easier for Lu Yuan to dig.
All he had to do was peel back the excess rock.
He cut open the stone in front of him, the rock layer was peeled off, and there was a fossilized part of a strong and powerful leg and paw.
The claws were about half a meter off the ground, extending all the way up, blocked by the rock formations that had not yet been stripped.
This extremely iconic toe bone and metatarsal bone, huge to nearly 80 cm long phalanges, the claws are well preserved.
Seeing the half leg, Lu Yuan recognized it almost immediately.
"T-Rex!"
"No, there is no Tyrannosaurus Rex in the Dragon Kingdom, but the toe bones and metatarsal bones are too strong..."
