Chapter 147 You dug up [Tyrannosaurus Rex]! 【Part 1】Ask for a custom reservation, ask for a monthly pass, ask for flowers!!
The hillside is nearly 200 meters high and stretches for several kilometers, with no grass.
This is the Mesozoic rock formation that Lu Yuan has been looking for.
He stood at the end of the woods and scanned directly.
“Found what?”
“Dinosaur fossils?”
“Where?”
Netizens were curious.
At this point, the scanning was over, and the hillside was shining with gold. Dense golden light, innumerable, 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.
Earthy gray surface rock, solid dirt, a paw print of about thirty centimeters, clearly visible.
No need to dig, visible to the naked eye.
Lu Yuan squatted down and pointed to the paw print: “Look, relic fossils!” ”
“I’ll go, this is a paw print?”
“Dinosaur paw prints?”
“This, this is discovered? How was it discovered? ”
“Such a big paw print, you can see it without blindness, right?”
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, close to six or seven percent, are estimated to be relic fossils.
It is a fossil like this paw print.
What is really precious is the fossilized bones.
He stuck the hoe on the side of his backpack, grabbed the wild knife, left a mark on the side, and walked forward.
Paw prints, pi prints…
These paw prints come in large and small, mostly large and few small.
“This should be the paw print of the northern dragon of Vickers.”
“It is also.”
“Well, this one he is.”
After walking two kilometers, through the paw prints left on the surface, Lu Yuan judged that there were at least more than three traces of dinosaurs here.
His discovery caused a great sensation at home and abroad.
Professors and scholars at Longguo University of Geosciences received the call and were surprised when they learned about it.
Dinosaurs and ancient human sites are not the same as ancient tombs.
In the archaeological community, the attitude towards ancient tombs has always been not active.
However, the remains of prehistoric creatures are different from fossils, and these works are actively explored by all walks of life.
The University of Geosciences is a relatively volatile in the industry, and they have found a lot of dinosaur fossils over the years.
The way to find is more efficient than Lu Yuan, mainly through satellite photography to locate where Mesozoic rock formations may appear, 02 and then go over to search one by one.
Their footprints are all over the desert and no man’s land, and they have also been searched in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, but there are too many wild beasts there to be suitable for large-scale staff to explore.
“It’s really a Mesozoic rock formation.”
“Is this young man very experienced?”
“There are paw prints!”
When he saw that Lu Yuan had found fossilized dinosaur footprints, the eyes of professors and scholars at the University of Geosciences lit up.
There are many dinosaur fossils in the Dragon Country, which can be said to be a large country of dinosaurs.
But many dinosaur fossils do not mean all.
Once people talk about dinosaurs, the first thing that comes to mind must be Tyrannosaurus rex.
And the Tyrannosaurus rex, so far, the dragon country has not been found.
Although no Tyrannosaurus rex was found, it was discovered as a large carnivorous dinosaur second only to Tyrannosaurus rex.
However, the city tyrannosaurus and the Tyrannosaurus rex belong to the same family, belonging to close relatives, and the industry has always believed that the dragon country also has a Tyrannosaurus rex, but it has not yet been discovered.
Lu Yuan’s phone was blown up without any accident.
Wu Jie’s, Li Huakai’s, Fang Hai’s, major museums… Lu Yuan answered a few calls, chatted briefly, and continued to search.
Almost all of them are paw prints on the surface, and most of them are underneath.
This rock layer is laborious to dig up, and it can’t be too fast.
Even Lu Yuan does not know, whether this is a relic fossil, or a bone fossil, if the skeleton fossil is below, the digging force is too strong, and it is easy to damage.
So you can only dig a little bit.
But this is difficult for Lu Yuan.
Just dig along the neighborhood.
His excavation is underway, and on the other side, experts from the Institute of the University of Geosciences are also on their way.
They tied Lu Yuan to the tiger shark ××, saying that they could help with the excavation for free, as long as they let them study.
Lu Yuan naturally would not refuse.
Such a big place, he alone could not dig it in a short time.
He came to an area where the golden light was densely concentrated.
“Wow~”
Seeing the bright red color of the rock layer below, Lu Yuan hurriedly stopped, dropped his hoe, and drew his field knife.
The fossil was about half a meter long, and he followed a little distance above the fossil, forked the blade into it, and cut it little by little.
Thanks to such a sharp weapon, otherwise it would be really difficult to dig.
Excavating nearby layers of earthy rock, the profile of this fossil is revealed.
On the rock, there is a fossil shaped like a thigh bone, about 30 centimeters.
“You dug up [fossils]”
[Fossil]: Attribute: Early Cretaceous. Value: 5 million.
“Early Cretaceous…”
Lu Yuan continued to dig along the side, while thinking about what dinosaurs were in this period.
Before I thought much, I dug it up again.
“You dug up [fossils]”
[Fossil]: Attribute: Late Cretaceous. Value: 6 million. Lu Yuan was stunned, and then glanced at it, it was indeed the late Cretaceous.
Current scientific literature generally divides the Cretaceous into late and early epochs, a total of 12 issues.
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 [fossils]”
[Fossil]: Attribute: Late Jurassic. Value:? Lu Yuan petrified.
His pupils are slightly dilated, what is the Jurassic running to make it lively?
“Hold the grass, dinosaur, I see dinosaur!”
“Lao Lu, remove your big head and let me take a closer look!”
“This dinosaur fossil is so complete!”
“This piece can be handed down!”
Only then did Lu Yuan slowly return to his senses, only then did he notice that the system did not value the value of this fossil.
Generally, there is only one reason for encountering such a situation, and the value is too high.
His eyes focused and he saw a dinosaur on the stone, a dinosaur fossil so complete that it made biologists scream.
This fossil is in a cross-section, about one meter and five meters long, and on top is a body about thirty centimeters long, with an even divided bone, two claws… No, not paws, but wings.
This dinosaur had wings.
Its wings are spread out, about half a meter or so.
“Pterodactyl!”
Lu Yuan recognized it at a glance: “This is a pterodactyl!” ”
He temporarily didn’t think about why fossils from different periods were together, looked at them for a while, and said: “This is a dinosaur from the late Jurassic period, all the way to the Cretaceous.” Strictly speaking, it is not a dinosaur, just a close relative of dinosaurs, but such a complete fossil is really rare. ”
Although both the Jurassic and the Cretaceous had this dinosaur, the system label is late Jurassic, then it is.
Such a complete dinosaur fossil was preserved and discovered, and the scholars who were rushing were excited and flew over immediately.
Foreign experts are also itchy.
“You dug up [fossils]”
[Fossil]: Attribute: Early Cretaceous. Value: 20 million.
The fossil is about 50 centimeters, a head, and a long mouth.
“This should be a small duck-billed dragon…”
Lu Yuan guessed in his heart that the main reason was that this mouth fossil was too unique, and few other dinosaurs were like this.
“You dug up [fossils]”
[Fossil]: Attribute: Early Cretaceous. Value: 15 million…….
In the blink of an eye, it was dark.
The biggest gain was the complete skeleton fossils of the pterodactyl, and the rest were fragmentary fossilized bones.
Half a head, thigh bone, or huge teeth.
The value of fossils in this category is high.
Only from the broken fossils, except for the small duck-billed dragon, the rest of Lu Yuan can only preliminarily judge whether they are carnivorous dinosaurs or herbivorous dinosaurs, and cannot judge the specific identity.
“Boom!”
As he sat on the rock layer to eat, helicopters flew over.
The people from the Institute of Geosciences came over, and Gu Deyong brought people to arrive.
The helicopter landed on the flat ground not far from the hillside, and a group of people got out of the helicopter and ran towards this side.
Half an hour later, a group of people arrived.
Along the way, he shone with a flashlight, avoiding the paw print fossils left by Lu Yuan, and went straight to Lu Yuan’s side.
“Mr. Lu, hello, get to know Ma Heguang, Institute of Geosciences.”
“Hello, Teacher Ma.”
Lu Yuan said, “Let’s rest first, and then dig slowly tomorrow morning.” ”
“Okay, let’s go see the fossils you excavated first.”
It was dark and not suitable for excavation work.
They came to several places excavated by Lu Yuan and saw complete fossilized bones of pterodactyls.
Several other fossils were also seen.
“Huh~”
Ma Heguang stared at the fossil of the head and mouth, and Lu Yuan said, “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 large number of dinosaur fossils in this place.” ”
Lu Yuan was quite surprised: “How does Teacher Ma know?” ”
“Guess.”
“But there is also a little basis.”
Ma Heguang pointed to the fossil and said, “Do you know what this is?” ”
Lu Yuan said, “It should be a duck-billed dragon.” ”
“You know?”
Now it was Ma and Hikaru’s turn to be dumbfounded.
Lu Yuan said, “The mouth is quite similar.” ”
“It’s indeed a duck-billed dragon.”
He used an affirmative tone: “I dug it in the male male, and it is almost the same as this one.” ”
Lu Yuan took the opportunity to ask: “The duck-billed dragon is an early Cretaceous and the pterodactylus is a late Jurassic, why are they together?” ”
Ma and Hikaru said: “It is not surprising that the survival time of the pterodactyls overlaps with the duck-billed dragons. ”
“But there are fossils of different dinosaurs here, and they are quite intact, and based on my years of excavation experience with dinosaurs, the amount of dinosaur fossils in this place will not be small.”
It will definitely not be small, nearly 10,000 golden lights.
The two talked and found a place to sit.
After chatting for a while, it was not early, so it was time to rest.
Instead of pitching a tent, they took out their sleeping bags and lay down directly.
Early the next morning, after a simple meal and drink, the excavation work continued.
Lu Yuan glanced at the range of this Mesozoic rock formation, intending to dig out the rest, help them point the way, and then leave.
Just leave the rest to them, he doesn’t have time to get it out one by one. With a hoe in his right hand and a wild knife in his left, he stood digging at a slope.
Others stripped him of the fossils he had already excavated.
The discovery was mainly made by Lu Yuan.
“Wow~”
“You dug up [fossils]”
[Fossil]: Attribute: Late Triassic. Value: 40 million. Lu Yuan is numb, how can this special Triassic also appear. It’s also too messy.
He couldn’t figure it out at all.
This is not the same as the ancient human fossils found, those he can infer a complete line from the fossils found.
None of this, he can’t do it.
It was a group of beasts, and at that time there was no highly intelligent life at all.
All of this can only be explained by the word accident.
He dug up a section of the fossil, about five meters long, with half a dinosaur body on top.
The head is nearly complete, the spine and bones 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 fifty percent of complete fossils are already complete.
This is an agile dragon!
“What’s wrong? What did you find again? ”
Lu Yuan pointed, Ma Heguang looked at it, and sighed in surprise.
After observing for a long time, his eyebrows furrowed.
If you find it yourself, this expert will definitely find it too.
Ma Heguang said: “The appearance is quite complete, it should be an agile dragon.” ”
From his words, Lu Yuan concluded that this expert was really a senior bull.
Lu Yuan said: “In the late Triassic, isn’t the fossil division of this piece too much?” ”
“It’s a little wide, but don’t be too confused.”
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 strange than this. ”
“On the same section, there are up to seven layers of fossils from different periods of the Cretaceous, do you say strange?”
“…… Seven floors. ”
Lu Yuan nodded, this is quite strange.
“This is not the bizarre 713.”
Ma Heguang said with a smile: “On some rocks over there, there are more than three layers of dinosaur footprints superimposed above and below, and they are all dinosaurs from different periods, and there are footprints under the dinosaur footprints, and a group of us couldn’t understand what the situation was when we wanted to break our heads.” ”
“And then?”
“Later? Then I didn’t want to. ”
“……”
I thought you figured it out, the feelings are directly rotten.
“This place is quite similar to the city, and there are more than 200 fossils you have found so far, and if you add those three-toed relic fossils, it is close to 500.” This scale, I’m afraid second only to Chengcheng, Lufeng and Self-supply… Those places too. ”
“In general, the larger the scale, the more fossils appear together at different times. So don’t think about it, because you can’t figure it out. ”
The young man who followed him on the side asked, “Teacher Ma, do you say that a Tyrannosaurus rex will be found here?” ”
Ma Heguang thought about it and shook his head: “It is theoretically possible, but it has not been discovered yet.” ”
He looked at the fossil in front of him and said, “It is quite likely that a tyrannosaurus will be found in this place, but it should be unlikely that a tyrannosaurus rex will be found.” ”
Academics believe that Tyrannosaurus rex is endemic to foreign countries, and the country of dragons has indeed not found fossils of Tyrannosaurus rex.
Some fossilized footprints of suspected Tyrannosaurus rex have been found, but there is too little evidence to prove it.
After chatting a few words, Lu Yuan continued to excavate.
This digging took a month.
A few kilometers nearby, I don’t know how much was densely dug by Lu Yuan.
Counting the excavations by archaeologists, the total number of fossils has exceeded five thousand!
Not only are there many but also many species, and fossils of marine life have even been found.
The findings here have shocked academics in various countries.
Even Ma Guanghe, although he guessed that this place might be about the same size as the city, but he was only guessing, really digging so much, he still felt like a dream
More than five near-complete dinosaur fossils were found.
A pterodactyl, a Dongyangosaurus, a tyrannosaurus, three litters of dinosaur eggs, and a primordial progenitorium!
Its Middle Eastern Yanglong is the largest, with a body length of more than 15 meters.
When it was first dug, everyone looked stupid.
Lu Yuan was standing at the bottom of the hillside at the moment, and there was a treasure spot on the slope here.
“Boom!”
“You dug up [fossils]”
[Fossil]: Attribute: Late Cretaceous. Value:?
Lu Yuan can now determine the preciousness of the fossils below through the question mark.
I’m afraid it’s another semi-complete dinosaur fossil.
The fossils on the rock wall are more difficult for ordinary people to dig, but they are easier for Lu Yuan to dig.
All he had to do was peel off the excess rock formations.
He cut through the stone in front of him, peeling off the rock formation, a fossilized of a strong leg and claw.
The foot claw is about half a meter off the ground, extending all the way up, blocked by the rock formation that has not yet been peeled off.
This iconic toe bone and metatarsal bone are so huge that they are nearly 80 centimeters long, and the claws are well preserved.
Seeing this half amputation, Lu Yuan recognized it almost at a glance.
“Tyrannosaurus rex!”
“No, there is no Tyrannosaurus rex in the Dragon Kingdom, but this toe bone and metatarsal feature is too strong.”
