Speaking of straight-shell Nautilus, it has a long history on Blue Star.

In its heyday, the strongest competitor encountered was the horseshoe crab.

The two started an evolutionary competition in the middle of the Cambrian period.

Until the end of the Cambrian period, the straight-shelled nautilus had the upper hand,

After experiencing the end-Ordovician extinction event.

The straight-shelled Nautilus was seriously injured, and eventually lost to the Banzuo Limulus.

But it still maintains a very high status in the ocean.

In the Devonian period, due to the appearance of Deng's fish, the crabs in the sea were forced to move to land.

But the straight-shelled Nautilus was oppressed by Deng's fish because it could not go ashore, and completely lost its overlord status.

And then by the emergence of spiral tooth sharks in the Permian.

Making the straight-shelled Nautilus family dying.

Until the Triassic, ichthyosaurs ruled the ocean, and the straight shell nautilus was completely extinct.

Ye Yuan was able to find a shell of a straight-shelled nautilus here today, he couldn't believe his eyes.

He reached out and touched the snail shell in front of him.

I found that the shell of the straight-shelled nautilus is not as ugly as I thought, and it feels like jade to the touch.

This made Ye Yuan inexplicably surprised.

You know, it is already a great luck to find a straight-shelled nautilus.

Not to mention, the one I discovered was still a jade shell.

Such a thing simply cannot be described by probability.

This is like the national football team entered the World Cup and won the championship in one fell swoop.

Such a probability, even if it is said, no one will believe it.

The jadeization of snail shells is a coincidence and a long process.

First of all, after life is exhausted, its exoskeleton will be buried in the seabed by sand and precipitated for tens of thousands of years.

form organic gemstones
It is also known as the "Spiritual Jade Under the Sea" full of natural spirituality.

This process is not only long, but also full of uncertainties.

It can be said that a shell wants to be jaded successfully.

Almost a probability of one in hundreds of millions.

And like this kind of huge straight-shelled nautilus shell, the probability of jadeization is even smaller.

Maybe I found this jade-shaped straight-shell nautilus.

It is the only jade nautilus in the world.

Ye Yuan didn't even dare to think about how much shock he would bring to the entire biological world if he took out such a straight-shelled nautilus that had always been jaded.

The straight-shell nautilus that people usually find are presented in the public eye in the form of fossils.

Therefore, for some scholars who want to study paleontology, fossils are of course not as valuable as directly studying snail shells.

Ye Yuan is very clear about the value of this nautilus placed in front of his eyes.

I believe that in the eyes of many biologists, this thing can be described as priceless.

Of course, Ye Yuan wouldn't sell him just because of his value.

Ye Yuan decided to keep this straight-shell nautilus that has already turned into jade.

With a wave of his hand, the snail shell that was lying quietly in the sea sand was taken into the space by Ye Yuan.

After putting away the extremely precious straight-shelled nautilus, Ye Yuan became more interested in this shellfish cemetery.

He didn't know how the shellfish here gathered here.

And how to die here.

...

But it has to be said that the shellfish resources at the bottom of this trench are extremely rich.

Although they are all dead shells, countless shells will be broken with every step.

But Ye Yuan still read carefully.

Take a look here, will you find some precious shellfish?

shell.

Ye Yuan is not a shellfish collector, but because of his innate advantages, the types of shells in his home are extremely rich.

Although no more valuable shells were found.

But with Ye Yuan's foot stepping out, a round black pearl rolled out from the shell crushed by Ye Yuan.

Originally, Ye Yuan thought that the pearls in this sea area had lost their luster over time.

But with the appearance of this black pearl, he realized how naive his previous thoughts were.

The reason why pearls lose their own luster is because the main ingredients contained in pearls are calcium carbonate and water.

Calcium carbonate will make the surface of the pearl appear a unique luster of pearl.

But as the calcium carbonate in the pearl will gradually lose.

Until finally losing the unique luster of pearls and no longer having the characteristics of jewels, such pearls will completely lose their value.

But this black pearl that suddenly appeared gave Ye Yuan hope.

Although this black pearl is also dull, it still has a certain value compared with those pearls that have completely lost their luster.

In other words, the calcium titanate in this pearl has not been completely lost, and it still has a certain value.

Ye Yuan picked up this black pearl, feeling extremely emotional in his heart.

I still remember when I just returned to Yuwan Island.

The first pot of gold he got was selling a valuable black pearl with the help of Zhao Chuan.

After such a long time, Ye Yuan once again found a black pearl on the bottom of the sea.

He can't tell what it's like to feel right now.

There is excitement, melancholy, and even a little bit of reluctance for myself at that time.

In any case, he who found the black pearl again

The mood is still very beautiful.

The only fly in the ointment is that the shape of this black pearl is oval, which is not the top grade of black pearls.

The size is not very big, the most important thing is that it is much less glossy.

Even so, Ye Yuan still put away this black pearl, which was almost past the expiration date.

After all, black pearls are too rare, even for me, I only found them twice after so long.

After only staying at the bottom of the trench for a full hour, Ye Yuan got countless pearls.

But the vast majority are still mainly white, like some light yellow, pink, and many are also found.

A golden pearl the size of a pigeon egg was even found.

Just when Ye Yuan was about to leave, his perception swept away unintentionally.

Suddenly found a huge giant clam in the corner of the trench.

Tridacna is a marine animal of the mollusk phylum, bivalves.

It is the largest bivalve mollusc in the ocean.

Known as the "King of Bei" by many people.

The largest giant clam can reach a length of more than 1 meter and a weight of more than 300 kilograms.

Its shell is thick and heavy, the shell edge is like teeth, the two shells are of the same size, and the inner shell is white and bright, as white as jade.

The external ligament usually has a large foramina.

The hinge has one main tooth and 1-2 posterior teeth.

If it is an ordinary giant clam, it is already a giant among shellfish.

Then the giant clam that Ye Yuan found is the giant among giants.

This giant clam is more than 3 meters in size.

If he didn't look carefully, Ye Yuan would have thought it was a huge reef.

Ye Yuan walked into the giant clam, and easily opened its tightly closed gap.

Following Ye Yuan's movements, a blood-red object with a diameter of half a meter,

Rolling out of the shell of this giant giant clam.

This is the first time Ye Yuan has seen such a big pearl, even in the data, he has never heard of such a big pearl appearing on Blue Star.
