"Haha, I thought dinosaur egg fossils would never be found anywhere else except China!"
"Yeah! I didn't expect that dinosaur egg fossils can be found here. Let's work harder. Maybe there are dinosaur egg fossils here too."
"No, be careful. Don't rush for quick success. Take your time. As long as there are dinosaur egg fossils here, we will unearth them."
Listening to the commotion at the scene, a smile appeared on Cao Meili's face. The archaeological site was most afraid of being lifeless, which would make it difficult to do a good job. Now with the stimulation of dinosaur egg fossils, they became passionate again.
"Maybe we can really find a lot of dinosaur fossils." Cao Meili warned everyone and returned to Han Peacock and the others.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "If more dinosaur fossils are discovered than in China, then I will definitely give you a bonus."
"This is not easy." Cao Meili glanced at the hill. The area was too small to contain many dinosaur eggs. However, even if one was found, it would be a huge gain.
"Why is it not easy? This swamp is not small." Han Peacock said with a smile.
Cao Meili shook her head and said: "The larger the area, the more dinosaur fossils or dinosaur egg fossils there are. It depends on the conditions. This is a hilly area. It's okay to have one dinosaur fossil. If you want to have dinosaurs all over this area,
Fossils, unlikely."
"This is not necessarily true. Maybe there may be more discoveries here than at home." Han Peacock said with a smile.
Cao Meili shook her head and did not continue to refute. The domestic dinosaur egg fossils are world-famous and are considered to be the most in the world.
It was reported in July 1993 that a large number of dinosaur egg fossils were newly discovered in the western and southwestern Henan Province of China, especially in the Xixia area, refreshing the old statistics of dinosaur egg fossils in the world.
"Thousands of dinosaur eggs have been discovered in China. It would be great if we could find a few hundred here." Several dinosaur egg fossils were discovered one after another, and Cao Meili couldn't help but envy the luck of the Korean peacock.
"Maybe there can be more than four thousand." Han Peacock said with a smile.
"Actually, the number of dinosaur egg fossils discovered now far exceeds this number." Cao Meili said.
Han Peacock also nodded and admitted that the smuggling of dinosaur egg fossils is very serious, so the specific number is really difficult to count.
In the past, more than 4,000 dinosaur egg fossils have been discovered in China, accounting for about 80% of the total number of dinosaur egg fossils discovered in the world.
However, later news came out that one collector in Henan Province alone had more than 2,000 dinosaur egg fossils, so that statistic was not reliable.
"Haha, you two, take a look, this is a three-jointed dinosaur egg fossil." Andal soon had a harvest. He unearthed three finished dinosaur egg fossils arranged in a glyph.
"It's really a three-piece dinosaur egg fossil. I didn't expect it to be so completely preserved." Han Peacock said with a smile.
Cao Meili also exclaimed: "Isn't this a dinosaur egg nest?"
Dinosaur Egg Nest Korean Peacock knows that in 1984, a 65-million-year-old "dinosaur egg nest" fossil was unearthed in China.
After this "dinosaur egg nest" fossil was unearthed, it was lost overseas several times. This "dinosaur egg nest" fossil contains 22 oviraptor dinosaur eggs, of which 19 dinosaur eggs can be seen in the early stages of dinosaur embryos.
In 2003, an American collector bought it for US$420,000 at a public auction in the United States, and later returned it to China free of charge after negotiations with many parties. This was the first time that the Chinese government used diplomatic channels to pursue paleontological fossils lost abroad.
If a dinosaur egg nest is really discovered, then maybe it is just like what Han Peacock said. Hundreds of thousands of dinosaur egg fossils were found under this hill.
"As long as they are well preserved, it should not be difficult to find such a three-piece dinosaur egg fossil." Han Peacock carefully checked the surroundings. If all these round stone eggs are dinosaur egg fossils, then this area of dinosaur eggs
There must be a lot of fossils.
As for finding 20 or 30 dinosaur egg nests connected together at once, Han Peacock had no such idea.
"Such three-jointed dinosaur egg fossils are very rare. They can definitely be sold for a lot of money. If there are large quantities, they may be able to impact the market." Cao Meili said with admiration.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "I don't want to sell it."
"I don't know if there are embryos inside. If there are, then the value will be higher." Cao Meili said.
This requires a certain probability. You must know that in the 1990s, a total of about 500 dinosaur egg fossils had been discovered around the world, of which only about 100 were dinosaur egg fossils containing embryos.
Therefore, the chance is only one-fifth, and the more dinosaur egg fossils are discovered, the more embryos will develop in the dinosaur egg fossils. The price of this kind of dinosaur egg fossils will be higher.
Currently, various authentic individual animal fossils on the auction market are worth a lot of money, and the value of this three-body dinosaur egg fossil is even more difficult to estimate.
Because the age recorded by dinosaur egg fossils can reach hundreds of millions of years, the value of this kind of antiquities will become more valuable as time evolves. Therefore, in the collectibles market, dinosaur egg fossils are hard to find.
Han Peacock remembered that a three-piece dinosaur egg fossil was auctioned before and sold for 2.8 million yuan, which was still RMB. Although the value must have appreciated now, it will not become 2.8 million U.S. dollars for such a small amount of money.
, how could Han Peacock see this?
At present, the total number of dinosaur egg fossils in the world is only a few thousand. Among these almost impossible to find dinosaur egg fossils, 90% exist in a single form. Like this three-body dinosaur egg fossils connected together,
It is truly a rare thing in the world.
Such things can be said to be priceless treasures. They are evidence that dinosaurs have survived on the earth for 160 million years. Naturally, Korean peacocks will not sell them just for a little money.
"Senior sister, senior sister, come here and take a look. Do you think this is a crystal dinosaur egg fossil?" Just as Han Peacock and Cao Meili were checking the dinosaur egg fossil dug out by Andal, there were gains in other places.
"Is it really a crystal dinosaur egg fossil?" Cao Meili's face was full of surprise.
"Not only that, this is also a nest of dinosaur eggs. There are dozens of dinosaur egg fossils in this nest, and they are all crystal dinosaur egg fossils." The professor appeared from nowhere and laughed.
Han Peacock really didn't know what a crystal dinosaur egg fossil was, but when he went over to look at it, he understood.
That nest of dinosaur egg fossils is really very similar to crystal. The crystal dinosaur egg fossil is very exquisite in shape, with an overall oval shape and a hard and rough appearance. A magnifying glass on the surface of the eggshell can see that there are small crystal clear crystals closely arranged in the cross section.
The rocks inside and outside the shell are all muddy.
There are also crystal fragments in front of the dinosaur egg fossils, and the color and composition are the same as those of the crystal dinosaur egg fossils.
"It is rare to see a crystal dinosaur egg fossil with complete preservation and beautiful appearance like this." The young professor admired while inspecting it.
Listening to the discussion between students and teachers here, Han Peacock also understood what a crystal dinosaur egg fossil is.
The most important thing is that this kind of dinosaur egg fossil is very rare. It is the best among the real dinosaur egg fossils. Even the price is much higher than that of ordinary dinosaur egg fossils. Now the value of this kind of dinosaur egg fossil is constantly rising, and new types of dinosaur egg fossils are on the market.
The price range is 2 million to 5 million.
"This kind of dinosaur egg fossil is very rare abroad. Even if it appears, there are only one or two. Only China has seen many." Cao Meili glanced at Han Peacock and said.
"A lot?" Han Peacock asked.
Cao Meili said: "It's not much. The discovery of crystal dinosaur egg fossils is always an accident, and the discovery in China was the same. It was when the local traffic police accidentally discovered a dinosaur egg fossil when they were routinely checking motor vehicle license plates."
After identification, it was confirmed that this dinosaur egg fossil was newly unearthed and was formed about 65 million years ago. It is a round dinosaur egg fossil from the late Cretaceous period and is a national first-class cultural relic. There are 10 crystal dinosaur eggs in one nest.
"
Dinosaur egg fossils are fossils formed by the long-term crustal evolution of dinosaur eggs. They were first discovered in the Cretaceous strata in Provence, southern France, in 1869. There are only a small number of dinosaur egg fossils discovered worldwide.
The crystal dinosaur egg fossil is the most precious kind of dinosaur egg fossil, and its quantity is extremely rare. When it appears in the art market, it becomes extremely precious.
"It looks quite beautiful. Are you so sure it's a dinosaur egg fossil?" Han Peacock asked with a smile.
The dinosaur egg fossil group and its concentrated production areas are definitely a very valuable tourism geological resource and a godsend opportunity for the development of tourism.
If there are dinosaur fossils and dinosaur egg fossils here, plus Titanoboa, ancient giant tortoises and giant crocodiles, then it will not be difficult to build a popular museum.
"Dinosaur egg fossils are very popular. Do you think we will admit your mistake? You see, there are actually some tips for identifying dinosaur egg fossils. The skin of dinosaur eggs is generally about 1 mm thick, the cross-section is often black, and the surface of the eggshell has a similar granular shape.
Ornamentation.
There is a layer of loess on the outside of the dinosaur egg. The surface is complete and smooth. The eggshell is about 1.5 mm thick. It is dark black, black gray in the middle, gray-yellow in the center, with a small yellow hole. The fracture is flat, brittle, siltstone-like, and horizontally layered.
The bedding direction is parallel to the surface of the egg, and it has the characteristics of egg fossils, so this must be a dinosaur egg, not an ordinary round stone."
Han Peacock nodded to show that he was taught. Since he had never come into contact with dinosaur egg fossils before, Han Peacock didn't know much about this aspect. Now after listening to Cao Meili's explanation, Han Peacock naturally knew that she was right.
Even if he can't recognize the dinosaur egg fossil, can't he still judge that it is the egg of a living creature? (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piotian.net
