Chapter 89 Ghost Fish
Behind a bush in the cold Xinjiang Plateau, Yu Xian dusted off his hands and returned.

The battle took place two days ago, which shows that the enemy pangolins have touched the vicinity of the cemetery.

Yu Xian killed the four enemies, leaving no survivors, and his companions would chase after him in the direction where someone disappeared.

According to the worst plan, it is better to leave the tent in place. As long as the enemy gets nearby, they will find the tent immediately and search around, which is also convenient for them to be found.

Use the tent as bait, and hide a portion of food at the same time, which cannot be destroyed by the battle or taken away by the enemy.

After finishing all this work, I will hide the fossils of Dashuigoulong and Psittacosaurus, and then calculate the time in my spare time.

It has been more than 20 days since Liujuehu entered the cemetery. During this period, Yu Xian not only dug up fossils, but also sent a paper on the toy pterosaur to the editorial department of "History Goshen".

I haven't gone to the bottom of the canyon to dig fossils in the past two days, but I am making changes according to the editor's feedback.

Now the revised version is sent to the editorial department again, and after passing the review, it will be published next month.

The academic achievements are progressing smoothly, but I am a little worried about Liujuehu and the others.

The last time I entered the Lianchi Mountains, the reason why I was trapped in the cemetery for a month was mainly because the suspected tomb collapsed, and a lot of time was wasted in the underground cave.

There are no underground karst caves on the Hanjiang plateau, so it's time to come up.

Yu Xian deliberately went back to the tomb passage behind the statue of the saint to check. The safety rope was still hanging there, and Bai Mo showed no sign of climbing up.

Because of concerns in his heart, Yu Xian contacted Bai Guanshan a few days ago, but the other party didn't answer the phone, and he didn't reply after three or four days.

"With their abilities, they won't overturn the car..."

In the final analysis, Yu Xian can only choose to believe in Liujuehu's tomb-robbing skills and do his own job first.

There is still a pointing mark at the bottom of the canyon that has not been dug.

In the beginning, there were two guides for the ancient atlas and two for the dragon-hunting atlas. Two dinosaur fossils had already been dug out, plus a cornerstone.

There is one pointer left, which also belongs to the guidance of the ancient atlas.

"As long as it's not ammonites, other ancient creatures are also fine."

It would be nice to have another cornerstone, otherwise Yu Xian would look like a knight on Yu Tyrannosaurus, but his hands are empty, and he needs a handy weapon.

Going down to the bottom of the canyon, the beating frequency of the pointer turned vertically downward and the beating frequency was very low, and the shape was relatively vague, indicating that the fossils were buried relatively deep.

As the excavation progressed, the pointer changed from one to two, indicating that there should be two fossils underneath.

It took half a day to dig a ground of more than ten meters, and poked the pointer down, and poked it on a rock the size of a laptop computer.

The surface of the fossil reveals the shape of two fish, the length of the head and tail is about 30 cm, which is not much different from the appearance of the current fish.

The skeletons of the two fish overlapped up and down, one on top of the other.

"...Are you fucking? Is this free to watch?"

Paleontological fossils are quite rare things, especially if some lifelike dynamics are preserved.

For example, other countries have dug up a group of fossils of Protoceratops and Velociraptor fighting.

Halfway through their fight, sand or torrents just came and buried them completely, forming fossils, and the posture of fighting in life was preserved.

This group of fossils is called "Dinosaurs in Fighting", and they fought for 7000 million years.

The research on the two dinosaurs has been very thorough. The fossil itself is nothing sensational. What is really rare is the completeness and preserved posture.

What should the names of the two overlapping guys in front of Yu Xian be...

"Crackling fish?"

The posture is really good, but it's a pity that you can't tell what kind of paleontology they are just by looking at their appearance.

Yu Xian subconsciously thought that the age should not be too long, but when he saw the updated content of the ancient atlas, his jaw dropped in shock.

Fantasy ghost fish, fossil integrity 67%, 59%
"woc."

The name of the fish is very fantastic, which shows how special it is in the eyes of archaeologists.

Four hundred million years ago, Silurian period.

It was still early before animals appeared on land, and the chordates in the ocean were just prey living at the bottom.

Gradually, as these animals survived, the notochord evolved and became the spine, forming a nerve center that connects the entire back from the brain.

Then the bony fish was born, and the meat-finned fish evolved.

The fins gradually turned into limbs and landed on land, becoming various vertebrates on land.

Therefore, including humans, the ancestors of all vertebrates must be attributed to bony fishes.

The appearance of bony fish should not have been so early, but scientists accidentally discovered ghost fish in fossil strata, moving the origin of vertebrates back tens of millions of years.

It is precisely because fish with spines should not have appeared so early, and it is described as a ghost in a dream, so it has such a name.

So far, the dream ghost fish has been studied, but the number of fossils is not much.

This thing is very precious, and it is no longer a question of how birds evolved, it is a branch of the common source of all vertebrates.

Even if there is nothing to write about the fantasy ghost fish fossil, the value of this fossil is still beyond doubt, not to mention that they are pressed one by one, and the dynamics are preserved.

If Yu Xian established the Institute of Paleontology and obtained the officially recognized fossil trading qualification, the price of this thing would be immeasurable.

No... Yu Xian probably wouldn't sell it, the fantasy ghost fish is enough to be used as the treasure of the town hall.

The fossil of the fantasy ghost fish is much more convenient than the Dashuigoulong. The thickness of the rock is about the level of a desktop computer case.

Put it into the mountaineering bag, and climb the cliff easily at leisure.

Dashuigou dragon, parrot-billed dragon, dream ghost fish.

This is the harvest of Yu Xian's trip to the cold Xinjiang plateau.

Dashuigoulong has extremely high paleontological value. Go back and study it to let the world know that it should be classified as carcharodontosaur.

Fantasy ghost fish is more of the romance of paleontology, a natural artistic atmosphere that has come from ancient times.

Of course, it is also possible to study the reproductive characteristics of the fantasy ghost fish from the fossils.

The Psittacisaurus is relatively ordinary, and there are too many fossils, so take it back and make it an ordinary collection.

There is also the cornerstone below, if it is idle, it is also idle, let it be dug out.

Yu Xian had already started to think about how to get people from Liujue households to be willing to help without directly helping the tomb robbery activities.

As long as you are willing to help bring the Dashuigoulong fossils to the vicinity of the scenic spot, don't expose the real fossil excavation site, Yu Xian may come back to continue to expand the search in the future.

With a reasonable argument in mind, Yu Xian returned to the bottom of the valley.

It's a few hours before dark, try hard, pull out the corner stone, and put it in the house to make a craft.

Just do it.

This thing is a cone with low friction, so Yu Xian dug a section down and shook the cornerstone back and forth to make it loose as a whole.

Then pull up hard.

Pasha.

The fossil was completely pulled out, and there was a bowl-sized hole on the ground, which extended to a depth of five or six meters.

At this moment, words came from the hollow.

"who is it?!"

"Ah?" Yu Xian was taken aback for a moment, only to feel that the voice was very familiar, "Bai Mo? I'm Yu Xian."

"Great!"

Cheers came from the ground, "Yu Xian came to save us—!"
