Korean Peacock knows that it is not unusual to find fossils here, because fossils have been discovered in both the northern United States and southern Canada. ↑,.
At this point, you don't know what kind of fossil this huge fossil is. If it is a rare fossil, it is still valuable. If it is an ordinary animal fossil, there is no need to be so excited.
"Fossils? How come there are fossils here?" Cheng Jun asked strangely.
The Korean peacock doesn't have any strange ideas. It is most normal for fossils to appear here.
"What's so strange about this? The most important thing now is to ask, where did this fossil come from? If it comes from the island, then there must be one here." Han Kongque said.
Cheng Jun glanced at Han Peacock and said, "Are you trying to take advantage again?"
Han Kongque ignored Cheng Jun and listened carefully to the discussion of the group of people.
Although Han Peacock can speak English, it is still a bit awkward to listen to the English spoken by these locals. Only by listening carefully can you understand what is meant.
"Haha, someone said someone caught fossils while fishing? He thought this was Canada?" Han Peacock was happy when he heard this.
"What? That person said the fossils were caught by fishing?" Cheng Jun was also a little surprised.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "That's why people around me don't believe it! Isn't this a quarrel?"
"Then what are you doing around here?" Cheng Jun was a little surprised.
Han Peacock said with disdain: "You still can't understand this? They all want to know where this fossil came from."
"It's not caught by fishing anyway." Cheng Jun said unconvinced.
Han Peacock laughed and said, "Someone actually found a fossil while fishing."
It is certainly a strange thing to find a dinosaur fossil while fishing. However, a father and son were fishing in the Castle River in Alberta, Canada, and unexpectedly found a large stone with a "black patch". They were curious.
I checked it beforehand, but I didn't expect it to be a duck-billed dinosaur fossil.
After learning the news, the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Canada took advantage of the river water level to drop in October and sent a helicopter to bring the fossils back for study. They believed, "This is very likely a new species!"
This father and son went fishing in the Castle River in Lethbridge, Alberta, in August. Unexpectedly, due to the floods in 2013, they accidentally discovered a hadrosaurus fossil weighing more than 1,000 kilograms. So they hurriedly discovered
Contact the Royal Tyrrell Museum and ask experts to recover this "treasure of the earth".
This fossil is about 80 million years old. Although it only contains partial parts such as the skull, neck and penis of the duck-billed dinosaur, it was discovered in a completely new area. It is speculated that it is likely to be a "new
Species".
The hadrosaurus is a herbivore that lived in the late Cretaceous period. Although it is very common in the fossil world, it is still worthy of attention this time. The local staff took advantage of the drop in the river water level in October to send a helicopter to airlift the fossils back to the museum for study. In the future
I don’t rule out going to the area near the “crime scene” again, hoping to find more dinosaur fossils.
So fossils were also discovered here, which naturally attracted the attention of tourists around, but such a thing is obviously not easy to believe.
Because the fossil in the young man's hand was too small and too completely preserved.
I saw the tourists disperse in twos and threes. However, Han Peacock did not leave with the others, but followed the young man who found the fossil.
"Hi! Can I see your fossils?" Han Peacock said hello very familiarly after catching up with the young man.
"No." The young man refused without hesitation.
Seeing the young man's appearance clearly, Han Peacock was stunned. He was a child. He had the most obvious appearance of an American, with freckles on his face, blue eyes, and blond hair. However, he looked immature.
"If it is really a fossil, I can buy it." Han Peacock said with a smile.
The boy glanced at Han Peacock suspiciously and said, "It's really a fossil, and it's a very rare dinosaur fossil."
"A dinosaur fossil the size of a fist?" Cheng Jun mocked at this time.
The boy said angrily: "This is definitely a dinosaur fossil."
"Did you find it when you were fishing here?" Han Peacock said with a smile.
When the boy heard this, he became even more angry: "It's okay if you don't believe what I discovered. But you can't catch up and laugh at me."
Looking at the stone in the boy's hand, Han Peacock was a little confused. This thing looked very much like a fossil. However, the skull, vertebrae, and tail vertebrae were complete, which had to make people suspicious. Because this fossil was only the size of a fist.
.
Is it possible to seal a dinosaur on such a small stone? If so, how big was this dinosaur?
"I believe that what you have is a fossil, but I don't believe that it was found here. Young man, you are not honest enough, so others' ridicule is the best punishment for you." Han Peacock said with a smile.
"Uh!" This American boy obviously didn't expect Han Peacock to say that.
Seeing his performance, Han Peacock smiled: "Look, you didn't refute, which means I was right. Come on! Young man, show me your fossils and tell me how many dollars you want.
"
"Do you really want to buy it?" Looking at Han Peacock who stretched out his hand, the boy was a little confused.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "I also think it is a fossil, but whether it is a dinosaur fossil or not, this requires evidence, so I need you to tell me where this treasure was found. I need the specific location. If you provide
The information is indeed valuable and I will pay the consulting fee.”
"How much can you offer?" The boy's face relaxed a lot.
Han Peacock pointed at the fossil in the boy's hand and said, "It depends on the value of the little treasure in your hand and the unreliability of the information provided."
"Of course the information is reliable, and I can even take you to see it, but it's a bit dangerous there." The boy hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the stone in his hand to Han Peacock.
Han Peacock took it in his hand and examined it carefully. Han Peacock's memory was outstanding. He could clearly remember anything he had seen once, so he was still very interested in this stone.
Because at first glance, Han Peacock could tell that the mini dragon among the stones looked very much like an Alamosaurus, but it was obviously not an Alamosaurus.
"It's very complete, and the general outline is clearly visible, but it's rare to see such a small mini dinosaur." Han Peacock said while looking at it.
"Of course, so I want at least two thousand dollars." The boy said proudly.
Han Peacock laughed and said: "If it is really a dinosaur fossil, I will give you 20,000 US dollars, but this does not look like a dinosaur, but a chicken."
"Chickens can't be fossilized," the boy denied.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "Of course, so I want to study it carefully. This one is very similar to Alamosaurus, but do you know how big Alamosaurus is?"
"How old?" the boy asked involuntarily.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "Alamosaurus is a large four-legged herbivorous dinosaur among sauropods. They have very long necks and are related to Diplodocus. They mainly lived 69 million years ago.
The former southwestern United States and Mexico.
Alamosaurus was first discovered and described in 1922. The earliest fossils came from New Mexico. Since then, skeleton fossils of this kind of dinosaur have been discovered in New Mexico, Utah, Texas and Mexico.
"
The reason why we say that the one in this stone is not Alamosaurus is because Alamosaurus is very big. It turns out that people always thought that an adult Alamosaurus would be more than 18 meters long and weigh about 30 tons.
But in 2009, researchers at Michigan State University discovered an adult Alamosaurus femur, and its bones were still in the growth stage, which means Alamosaurus may have been larger than we thought."
"Isn't it considered the largest if it's over 18 meters?" Cheng Jun also said a little dumbfounded.
Han Kongque said: "The largest dinosaur discovered in the world is the Argentinosaurus from South America. Scientists speculate that its weight could reach an astonishing 70 tons during its lifetime. In the past 20 years, more and more giant dinosaurs have been discovered.
And Alamosaurus may not only be the largest dinosaur in North America, but may even surpass Argentinosaurus in South America."
"How do you know what such a big dinosaur looks like?" The American boy obviously did not fully believe what Han Peacock said.
Han Peacock gave him an admiring look and said: "Smart boy, no matter how big a dinosaur is, it is transformed from a dinosaur egg. For giant dinosaurs like Alamosaurus, researchers generally only
Parts of fossils or fragments of their bodies can be found. To fully understand this type of prehistoric giant animal, scientists need to collect as many of their fossils as possible.
Fortunately, Alamosaurus fossils are one of the more common types of dinosaur fossils in New Mexico. At the same time, there is also a team of excellent dinosaur fossil hunters in the world. Therefore, during their field fossil excavation, Alamosaurus of various ages have been discovered.
fossil.
There are juvenile and young Alamosaurus fossils inside, so at first I thought this was a baby Alamosaurus, a little dragon that had just crawled out of the eggshell. However, now that I looked carefully, this was not the case.
Like a baby, but like an adult dragon, if it were a dinosaur."
"It's a dinosaur, it must be Alamosaurus." The boy said stubbornly.
Seeing him like this, Han Kongque smiled: "It won't sell for much money."
"Can't a complete Alamosaurus be sold for two thousand dollars?" The boy was obviously a little disappointed.
"Unless it is a very interesting dinosaur fossil, it is worthless. For example, there are other things in his body, or there are active substances." Han Kongque said.
"Active substance? I know this. If there are living dinosaur cells, they will definitely be sold for two thousand dollars. I have also seen Jurassic Park, but this is difficult to find. So are there other situations?" The boy asked very seriously.
