Chapter 119 Shock in Details
"Ah? Ask me where I'm going?"

"Yes, they didn't go into the Quartz Cave, they just wandered around the scenic area, and then they met me in the name of a scientific research team, asked where Mr. Yu was going, and said they wanted to cooperate with you."

When encountering such a group with unknown origins, Xiao Xuri certainly didn't foolishly tell about Yu Xian's situation, and he really didn't know where he was going.

When communicating with the audience in the live broadcast room, Yu Xian straightforwardly stated that he will conduct further investigations in the cold Xinjiang plateau in the near future, and Xiao Xuri's response is also the same:
I only know that Mr. Yu was on a survey in the cold Xinjiang plateau, but I don't know where he went.

"That's it, it's okay, it's probably the paparazzi-like journalists in the media circle who are doing everything they can to find out the news, but they can't find me anyway."

Yu Xian Xinzhou was already thinking about various possibilities, and he didn't say anything, so as not to add extra anxiety and psychological burden to Xiao Xuri.

For him, the most important thing at this stage is to stabilize the Shenggu Mountain Scenic Area.

After the call ended, Yu Xian quickly returned to the bottom of the valley.

It's too cold up there.

The charging treasure connected to the solar panel is specially stuffed inside the thick gloves to prevent it from being damaged by the low temperature.

With a fire lit outside the big tent, Yu Xian thought carefully about Xiao Xuri's words.

It's okay to ignore them as paparazzi, but they are more likely to be fossil hunters.

Fossil hunters, professional fossil hunters.

It is a big mistake to only understand them as being very good at digging fossils.

Not only fossils are hunted, but people who dig them are also hunted.

In the wild where the legal society can't restrain, whoever's methods are cruel, the fossil results will belong to him.

It is not uncommon for fossil hunters to attack formal fossil exploration teams, just because the circle is relatively small and there are few stories circulating outside.

If I really want to describe it, it's a bit like a pangolin attacking an archaeological team.

Yu Xian didn't think that his popularity was worthy of the paparazzi, and the possibility of a fossil hunter was higher.

"It doesn't matter, how could it be traced here."

No one knew Yu Xian's specific course of action, or even where Yu Xian was on the Cold Border Plateau.

It may be in Hanxue City, or it may go to other cities. The no-man's land on the Hanjiang Plateau is even more like finding a needle in a haystack.

Ignoring the unknown fossil hunters, Yu Xian turned his attention back to the fossil pit dug yesterday.

It is impossible to escape the quagmire, and the dragon is still staying in it.

According to the existing paleontological research results, the running speed of Mireosaurus can reach more than 50 kilometers per hour, directly chasing Carnotaurus.

"Running so fast is still hard to escape the quagmire..."

The name is really joyful, even more funny than Dashuigoulong.

click.

The shell of a USB flash drive was broken, the metal was slightly twisted, and the chip inside gave off a burnt smell.

At the cost of the sacrifice of the USB flash drive, the stones attached to the forelimbs of the Mireosaurus fell off, and the fossils were peeled off intact.

The fossils with the size of two small tree branches are not connected to the large mountain. The trouble is only the small embedded stones.

It is not only troublesome to use basic techniques and tools to separate, but a slight mistake or bad luck will cause damage to the fossils, so simply consume the U disk and use the Taiqing autopsy.

As the afterglow of the setting sun dissipated, the temperature at the bottom of the canyon dropped sharply.

Lighting a bonfire in his spare time, wrapped the large skeleton of the inescapable Miredragon with plastic wrap, and put the scattered fingers and claws into plastic ziplock bags one by one.

"One, two, three, four...four fingers."

The only inescapable Mireosaurus that has been made public at this stage has no forelimbs, and the front of the fossils that Yu Xian has dug so far is quite complete, so naturally he paid special attention to it.

It can be seen that this inescapable Mireosaurus is younger than the public predecessors in the paleobiosphere, and its bones are also relatively slender, and it is in its infancy.

There appear to be only three claws on the forelimbs, but one claw is so degenerated that it is almost impossible to distinguish.

Yu Xian originally thought that the scientific research results obtained were at most how many fingers and claws this dinosaur had, but now he looked at the plastic sealed bag and was stunned.

Adjusting the direction of the forelimb bones, it can be seen that the most severely degenerated part is the finger on the innermost groove, which is equivalent to the position of the human thumb.

From the perspective of outsiders, there is no problem, but it is quite shocking to Xian.

Sauropods, ornithopods, and early carnivorous dinosaurs all had five claws on their forelimbs. When they gradually transitioned to birds in the later period, the number of claws on their forelimbs gradually changed to three.

There is no problem here, and the Mireosaurus is indeed showing the process of dinosaur degenerating fingers.

What really shocked Yu Xian was that so far, the paleobiosphere believed that during the evolution of dinosaurs to birds, it was the two rear fingers that gradually degenerated.

Still taking humans as an example, it is equivalent to the degeneration of the ring finger and little finger, leaving the remaining three fingers.

It is inevitable that the "thumb" position is seriously degraded by Mireosaurus.

Comparing the relatively complete two metacarpal bones, there is no "little finger", but there is still a little space corresponding to the little finger.

This evidence is enough to prove that the evolution of the straight claws of the dinosaur's forelimbs was not the degeneration of the two outermost ones, but the degeneration of the thumb and little finger, leaving the middle three fingers.

In addition to the skeletal representation, the appearance time of Mireosaurus is also very coincidental. It appeared earlier than Archeopteryx, and it has feathers and a beak-like beak, which has set up a research bridge for the evolution of dinosaurs to birds.

With such a finger change alone, Yu Xian believed that after writing the thesis, the academic factors produced by the Inescapable Miredragon would never lose to that of the Qiptera.

The key is to write the essay well...

There is no reference in "Xueba Document Library", and the known fossils of Miredragon in the real world are missing forelimbs and claws, which to a large extent tested Yu Xian's writing and argumentation skills.

Unexpectedly, there was such a huge treasure in the details, so Yu Xian carefully put away this part of the fossil.

Tomorrow, instead of expanding the search scope, sit down and sort out your writing ideas, and continue to conceive in the process of follow-up aimless search.

Then there is the beak of Mireosaurus, which has separated the upper and lower jaws due to the loss of the connection between muscle tissue and cartilage.

Yu Xian took out two plastic sealed bags and stored them separately to avoid rubbing and bumping in the same bag.

After storing such a small action separately, Yu Xian paused again.

"I can't escape the mire dragon...the one with teeth in its mouth!?"

"Scholar's Archives" and the fossils of Mireosaurus that are currently open online in the world have a more complete head than Yu Xian's. The mouth is a horny beak that looks like a bird, with no teeth inside.

However, the fossils in Yu Xian's hand clearly contained teeth in the upper and lower jaws...

Comparing the goods in my hand and looking at the data of the published papers, the difference between the inescapable quagmire dragons on both sides lies in adults and minors.

In Yu Xian's hand, this is just a juvenile Inescapable Mire Dragon, it has teeth.

Outrageous cases of genetic mutations were ruled out.

Can't escape the mire dragon juveniles have teeth, and the teeth fall out during the growth process.

This is the process of change from "dragon teeth" to the "horny beak" of birds.

"I underestimated you."
