Chapter 137 Do You Still Have Fossils? !

"Wu Qianshan, Fu Haitao."

Yu Xian called him by his first name in the live broadcast room, which caused dissatisfaction with the other party and some viewers.

"What do you want to say?"

"I would like to ask you two, what is the general pattern of the evolution from the five fingers of early theropod dinosaurs to the three fingers of subsequent orniths?"

Wu Qianshan didn't speak. This kind of question was not worth answering, so Fu Haitao took over.

"Five fingers are not good, not suitable for birds, so there is evolution. The mainstream view in the academic circle is that the two outermost claws degenerate, and finally three fingers are left."

Indeed, according to the available information, the academic circles believe that the outer "little finger" and "ring finger" disappeared, leaving three fingers.

"That's not the case." Yu Xian shook the fossil lightly, "The Mireosaurus was a feathered dinosaur, and its forelimbs showed a different evolutionary pattern."

"what!?"

The audience still finds the big monster of Butterfly Dragon exciting, but the perspective of scholars is completely different.

How can Wu Qianshan not pay attention to evolutionary evidence that can overturn the mainstream understanding of paleontology.

"What happened to the forelegs of the Inescapable Mire Dragon?"

"You will know when I publish the paper."

"you--"

Wu Qianshan's face was flushed with anger, and there was really nothing he could do. Thinking about it differently, they would not casually reveal the newly discovered traces.

Fu Haitao was not so calm, he pointed at the camera and reprimanded Yu Xian for his empty words.

"You are a fool, trying to get away with it."

"It doesn't matter, our direct bet can continue until the paper is issued, and the winner will be judged by academic factors."

Having said that, Wu Qianshan and Fu Haitao looked at each other, and their emotions eased a little.

It is to their advantage to use academic factors to determine winning or losing.

The more top-notch academic circles, the more resources are concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the schools of various schools exclude each other.

If a well-known magazine is the editor-in-chief of faction A, it will be difficult to publish papers from faction B.

Wu Qianshan has abundant resources, and Fu Haitao has a big backer.

On the other hand, Yu Xian, although he has cooperated with "Tianyi Museum", at most he will not be made trouble, and he still has to reach an objective standard before he can publish normally.

The advantage is mine!

"Oh, that's right." Yu Xian interrupted the other party's daydream, "I still have the beak of the mire dragon."

"so what?"

The two Miredragon fossils released today also have skulls and beaks, which are much more complete than Yu Xian's fossils. There should be nothing to talk about, except for the forelimbs.

"The Inescapable Mire Dragon in my hand is younger, and in its mouth."

Yu Xian smiled and slightly untied the straps, revealing the beak of the inescapable Miredragon from the side, and then quickly covered it up so that the audience could not see it too clearly.

It was just a brief side show, Fu Haitao didn't feel much, "What are you doing? Are you kidding us?"

"No, no, that's it," Wu Qianshan muttered, startling the researchers.

"Professor Wu."

"Can't Escape Miredragon have teeth in its infancy?!"

"what?!"

The fossils of Mireosaurus that are open to the public today are normal beaks with no teeth inside.

The fossils in Yu Xian's hands clearly have traces of teeth, which shows that Mireosaurus underwent an evolution from juvenile to mature. The presence or absence of teeth also reflects the change of its food type.

It is of great significance to study the ecological niche of the Hanjiang Plateau in the late Jurassic.

Moreover, it is impossible to escape Mireosaurus, which has a large number of bird characteristics, which is exactly the direction of Wu Qianshan's research.

"You... let me see!"

"do not want!"

Yu Xian wrapped up the inescapable quagmire dragon fossil again, Wu Qianshan had no choice but to shut up angrily.

Without seeing the shape of the teeth, it is impossible to judge the type of food.

The professor was so emotional that the audience in the live broadcast room had a judgment in their hearts.

Is Yu Xian going to win? !
A team with only one minivan can beat Fuzhou Institute! ?
Fu Haitao's complexion was not good, that's all.

Scholars who watched the live broadcast knew that the outcome was not decided.

It is true that the inescapable Mireosaurus had unusual features, but Slenderraptor and Megapterosaur may not have been absent, so no conclusions can be made.

And since it is agreed to use academic factors to determine the winner, it is also a question of whether the two sides can write beautiful papers.

Give good fossils to bad scholars, and the papers you write may only be published in general journals, not core journals.

"You're lucky." Fu Haitao's face looked like grass carp marinated all morning, "But don't be complacent for too long, you may not be able to do further research."

"Wait, don't talk like it's over."

"Ok?"

On the screen, Wu Qianshan and Fu Haitao were stunned.

They naturally felt that Yu Xian was out of stock.

The Butterfly Dragon was the first to win the game, and then the Burying Dragon and Velociraptor were mentioned. The General Dragon dug out earlier was briefly introduced, and finally the heavy Mireosaurus was inescapable.

The performance was perfectly paced and ended beautifully.

What else can you do?
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of water friends and opponents, Yu Xian took out a boomerang-shaped thing.

"Do you still remember this? The fossils dug out with the fire dragon must not be the bones of the fire dragon."

The barrage quickly asked what kind of dinosaur it was, and Wu Qianshan was also quietly waiting for the answer.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xian just shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't recognized which cold plateau paleontology it is for the time being."

"Whoa!"

The anticlimactic reply made Fu Haitao roll his eyes, "It's a pretentious act, and such a small amount of fossils is still being used to make a fool of yourself. Maybe it's just a small reptile eaten by the fire dragon."

"I don't know, but my intuition tells me that this thing is not simple."

Yu Xian kept his mouth shut about the truth, and only said that because the use of these fossils was restricted for subsequent writing papers, he had to show them to avoid being called a foul.

"Pull it down, don't be a clown."

If it is said that Fu Haitao felt the pressure from the inescapable Miredragon before, the skeleton like a small boomerang really does not catch his eyes at this time.

Wu Qianshan watched silently, feeling that Yu Xian was making a fuss out of a molehill.

Young scholars, especially those who are lucky enough to quickly gain the limelight, tend to do this, and when they find clues that they don't know, they magnify them and think about them.

No matter what intuition, the result is an oolong.

I only spent four years in a third-rate university, and I didn't have the practice of scientific examinations, where did I get my intuition?
"And then, the last one."

"you also have?!"

Some water friends in the live broadcast room are already saying that Yu Xian must have bought extra through illegal means, which is cheating.

On the contrary, the scholars did not speak much.

They could tell that, except for the boomerang-shaped bone, the other fossils were all species from the cold frontier plateau.

The two sides are comparing scientific research results, and there is no need to buy Velociraptor to make up for it.

It is very difficult for Butterflyosaurus cervical fossil hunters to get such high-end products, and sometimes they will contact big buyers.

At the same time, you have to buy a juvenile Miredragon that cannot escape.

After completing these, get through the contacts in the Shenggu Mountain Scenic Area to confirm that the fossils were dug nearby, and ask the local officials of Hanxue City to help identify them.
Instead of believing that the organization behind Yu Xian is so powerful, it is better to believe in good luck.

"Okay, what else do you want to take out?"

"I think it's an unknown dinosaur species."

"Unknown again?!"
