After the fossils were moved out of the pit, they were not put down, but moved directly back to the camp. Fixing the fossils was troublesome. In order to avoid the trouble in the middle, I had to move them back first and then look at them slowly.
After the fossils were moved back, Captain Shi asked someone to clean the soil on the fossils. Some of the sticky soil needed to be buckled.
The fossils have been moved out, and everyone is not as anxious as before. They have been waiting for such a long time, and there is not much time left.
After cleaning, Wang Xiaoshan took the camera to let the audience see the fossils excavated this time. The audience was almost anxious to death, and barrages were flying all over the sky.
"This is the fossil I dug out of the pit just now. Now that it has been cleaned, everyone can clearly see what the dinosaur looked like!"
[This dinosaur is much smaller than other dinosaurs, but its two pairs of eyes are surprisingly large and look out of place.]
[I originally thought they were Pipi shrimps, but now they look a bit different, especially the two hand-like things in front of the head, which are really scary!]
[This dinosaur is definitely related to a shrimp, but I don’t know the specific name of this shrimp. It has big eyes, big forelimbs, and a long body. It doesn’t seem like a kind creature!]
[It should be called Dinophorus, the prawn of the dinosaur era. Such a big shrimp should be the king of shrimps. There should be no animals in the water that dare to eat it!]
[Lao Wang, please tell us about this dinosaur. Not many dinosaurs in ancient times were good-looking. The scary fish last time is now a scary shrimp!]
The audience has already seen that the dinosaur dug out by Wang Xiaoshan this time is very long, two meters long, and its eyes are bigger than table tennis balls.
Not only are the eyes big, they are also protruding and very scary when viewed from a distance. Such big eyes can clearly see any situation around the body.
This dinosaur has the same characteristics as modern shrimps. Many viewers believe that this dinosaur is related to shrimps. Even if it is not the ancestor of shrimps, it is still a close relative of shrimps.
There are no feet like land dinosaurs found on this dinosaur fossil. If there were feet that could obviously walk, the audience would definitely think it was a centipede.
"The dinosaur I dug up this time is called Anomalocaris. It was once one of the most ferocious predators in the ocean."
The strange shrimp dug up by Wang Xiaoshan is about two meters long, and its mouth alone is about 25 centimeters in diameter.
In addition to its huge body, Anomalocaris also has a pair of huge eyes on its head. The eyes are so big that many prey dare not approach them after seeing them. It is too scary.
A pair of huge forelimbs sprouted from both sides of the Anomalocaris' head that could catch food quickly, and its mouth contained sharp teeth like gears.
With such a pair of good teeth, Anomalocaris can easily crush animals protected by shells.
[Lao Wang is so fierce, he dug up such a strange dinosaur shrimp, the name Anomalocaris is good, it looks so strange, it doesn’t look like a shrimp at all!]
[I’m just interested in its big eyes. With such big eyes, do they have compound eyes like flies and mosquitoes? If so, that’s really incredible!]
[Anomalocaris has such good teeth, it is very suitable for eating clam shells or crabs. It may also be good for eating fish. These teeth are about to catch up with sharks!]
[The dinosaur fossil that Lao Wang dug up today is pretty good. The name of Anomalocaris is quite nice. It would be nice if it didn’t look so scary!]
[Fortunately, this kind of shrimp is extinct. If this kind of shrimp existed in the modern ocean, it would be scary to death. It looks like a snake!]
The audience was very satisfied with the shrimp Wang Xiaoshan dug out. Many viewers had never seen the dinosaur he dug out this time.
Anomalocaridids have also been discovered in other regions and countries, but the fossils excavated are not very complete and have a high degree of incompleteness.
The anomalocaridids dug up by Wang Xiaoshan today are very complete, and the entire anomalocaris can be seen. This is the first time such a complete anomalocaris has been discovered in China.
This is the first time in China that many viewers have never seen it, which is very normal. Some viewers who like dinosaurs may have heard of the name, but few people have seen the real fossils.
"The large eyes of Anomalocaris are compound eyes. They have the same structure as the eyes of flies. The compound eyes of Anomalocaris are also the largest among the animals with compound eyes known so far."
"This pair of eyes is so big that it contains tens of thousands of single eyes. With so many single eyes, Anomalocaris can clearly see the surrounding environment while hunting."
"Anomalocaris has a pair of majestic huge forelimbs, a pair of long tail forks and a beautiful large tail fan, two eyes, teeth and spines on the forelimbs."
"If you see a creature with the above characteristics on the Internet, it must be Anomalocaris."
"Although Anomalocaris is called a shrimp, it is not related to the petrified shrimp."
Wang Xiaoshan introduced the strange shrimp dug up this time to the audience, and also told the audience some characteristics of this shrimp. Interested viewers can go online to read other information.
[I just noticed the majestic large forelimbs of Anomalocaris, which look like a sickle, very similar to the forelimbs of a mantis.]
[I just went online to find the restoration picture. This kind of dinosaur is quite scary. It’s just like what Lao Wang said. The eyes are too big and scary.]
[It seems that Anomalocaris is also afraid of being attacked. Isn’t it just to avoid being eaten by other animals by having such big eyes? Even though it is so big, it also has nemesis! 】
[There are really all kinds of ancient creatures, and there are no such huge and strange creatures like Anomalocaris in modern times!]
[What Lao Wang dug up should be an adult Anomalocaris, so it’s so big. If it were smaller, it wouldn’t be so scary! 】
"Not all Anomalocaris are so huge. There are also mini versions of Anomalocaris, which are only about 30 centimeters long. The size of the species I dug out does not mean that all Anomalocaris are this big!"
Not all the anomalocaridids known today are as big as the anomalocaridids dug up by Wang Xiaoshan. Some species are actually very small.
The most powerful thing about Anomalocaris is not the eyes, but the teeth. The stinky smell of Anomalocaris has been discovered before, and broken trilobite shells were found inside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Trilobites have extremely hard shells, and even the shells of trilobites can be broken by Anomalocaris. You can imagine how powerful the teeth of Anomalocaris are.
After Wang Xiaoshan finished speaking to the audience, other staff members immediately gathered around him. The staff members just heard his introduction, and the people around him also knew the name of this dinosaur.
When Wang Xiaoshan didn't introduce it just now, many staff members around were using their mobile phones to search for the name of this kind of dinosaur.
There are so few complete Anomalocaris, so it’s normal for the staff not to know them. If they knew them all, wouldn’t they all be experts?
The staff and several doctoral students were squatting on the ground and observing the anomalocaridids carefully. Complete anomalocaridids are so rare that they were very excited to see them with their own eyes.
Anomalocaris is also known as the king of the sea. Several doctoral students have seen related content on the Internet before, and they all remember the king of animals.
This kind of dinosaur that can dominate the world is easier to remember.
Several doctoral students thought it was very worthwhile to watch Wang Xiaoshan dig a hole today. This kind of fossil, which is difficult to see online or in textbooks, was actually dug out by Wang Xiaoshan today.
Several doctoral students brought by Expert Liu also had their eyes opened today.
The staff around them all went off to do their own business after reading it. They couldn't stay in the camp looking at the fossils all the time, they had work to do.
After everyone had finished reading, Expert Liu squatted down to observe the fossil excavated by Wang Xiaoshan. Expert Liu was still able to keep his composure and did not crowd in with others to look at it.
Expert Liu looked at it for a while and found that all the features of this Anomalocaris were clearly visible. It was definitely the most complete Anomalocaris fossil in the world.
Such a complete Anomalocaris is very attractive to people like Expert Liu who like to study fossils.
Expert Liu: "Lao Wang, you are really good at digging fossils."
Wang Xiaoshan: "It's just good luck. I didn't expect to find this!"
Expert Liu: "Old Wang, you are so humble. Thank you so much for this time. This fossil has been of great help to our research."
Every time Expert Liu meets Wang Xiaoshan, Wang Xiaoshan can bring surprises, and each time the surprise is very big.
After chatting for a while, expert Liu began to tell several doctoral students about this strange shrimp.
Since some people say that Wang Xiaoshan quickly brought the camera over, the audience can listen more if the experts say more.
Wang Xiaoshan and the experts focused on different topics, so that the audience could learn about dinosaurs like Anomalocaris from different directions, and he could take more rest while the experts explained.
There is not much time left today. Wang Xiaoshan is not going to continue digging for fossils. We will wait until tomorrow.
Li Miaomiao said to Wang Xiaoshan: "This kind of strange shrimp should be a predator at the top of the food chain!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "Well, in the era of Anomalocaris, it was indeed an apex predator. It had sharp teeth and a hard shell, and ordinary dinosaurs could not hurt it."
"The fact that it grew like this shows that there was a lot of competition between dinosaurs at that time."
Li Miaomiao: "Well, very few arthropods have such hard shells and sharp teeth. Can Anomalocaris swim fast?"
Wang Xiaoshan: "The shrimp is not good at walking, but it swims very fast. You see it has a long tail fan on its tail. This part is to make it swim faster."
Although the Anomalocaris has such a long body, its swimming speed is not slow at all. The Anomalocaris is so big that it cannot camouflage itself and wait for prey to take the bait like some marine creatures.
Anomalocaris has to go out to hunt and find food. Its large body means it eats a lot. If it swims too slowly, it will starve.
Anomalocaris has limbs that look like swimming paddles, which are shaped like this for swimming. In that period of predatory predators, dinosaurs either had to adapt to the environment or become extinct.
After listening to Wang Xiaoshan's introduction, Li Miaomiao went to observe the anomaly shrimp carefully. She had gained experience after staying in the barren mountains for such a long time.
After being trained by Wang Xiaoshan, Li Miaomiao was able to observe these dinosaur fossils by herself. Although she was not as good as experts, she was much better than ordinary viewers.
The audience was very interested in the fossil excavated today. After the experts finished speaking, the audience still wanted to see this fossil.
Wang Xiaoshan simply put the camera aside to let the audience take a good look at the Anomalocaris from ancient times. He found a position to let the audience see the entire Anomalocaris clearly.
Wang Xiaoshan is not going to let the audience take a closer look at the details, just let the audience take a look at the overall appearance. The audience is not an expert, and they will not be able to tell anything by looking at the details.
While the audience was watching Strange Shrimp, Wang Xiaoshan went to the barren mountains again. Just now, a staff member came to him for help.
Although the staff at Huangshan are professional, some problems still need to be solved by Wang Xiaoshan, and some problems cannot be solved by the staff.
Some problems that are very difficult for the staff are just child's play in Wang Xiaoshan's eyes, and he can solve them in minutes.
Wang Xiaoshan also walked around in other pits for a while. They were digging hard in other pits. Many workers were very motivated after seeing the anomalies he dug out just now.
Every time Wang Xiaoshan digs out complete and other fossils, it is a positive stimulus to the staff, and this stimulus encourages others to work hard to dig.
Wang Xiaoshan wandered around the barren mountain for a while and then went back after solving the problem. Nothing was dug out of the other holes for the time being, so he had nothing to do nearby.
"Dear viewers, we will not continue digging today. If there are still viewers who want to see dinosaur fossils, I can take you to see the fossils that were dug up before!"
[Lao Wang said that the hidden meaning of this sentence is that it is time to get off work. Do you have any questions? Is there anything you want to see? 】
[Lao Wang, please dig for a while longer. You still have more than an hour before you get off work. You can’t leave early. You have to fish for another hour! 】
[I am very satisfied with the fossils that Lao Wang dug out today. Lao Wang will remember to keep up the good work tomorrow. If you are tired today, go back and rest early! 】
[I really don’t want Lao Wang to get off work so early. It would be great to dig more pits. I haven’t seen enough yet. We have all the fish and shrimps. Let’s dig out another crab!]
[Old Wang, please let us take a look at the fossils from before. If we don’t take one more look, we’ll be in trouble, Old Wang!]
Wang Xiaoshan is indeed ready to sow seeds, so he won't dig any more pits. No fossils can be found in other pits for the time being, so he has nothing to do in the barren mountains.
If there are fossils unearthed, Wang Xiaoshan can tell the audience about it, but now that nothing has been unearthed, he can't chat with the audience again.
Every time the audience knew that Wang Xiaoshan was going to be off the air, they didn't want him to leave. These audiences wanted him to live broadcast 24 hours a day.
Since some viewers still wanted to see the fossils excavated before, Wang Xiaoshan took the camera to the barren mountain and let the viewers have a look before the broadcast.
Just now, Captain Shi told Wang Xiaoshan that the anomalocaridids he had just dug up would be transported away by staff early tomorrow morning, so some fossils could only be viewed by the audience for one day and would be transported away the next day.
Now, as long as Wang Xiaoshan digs out very valuable fossils, they will be transported away the next day. These precious fossils are of great value, so it is safer to transport them as soon as possible.
The fossils excavated by Wang Xiaoshan are becoming more and more valuable, which has led to many experts from all over the country coming to their city to study the fossils.
Wang Xiaoshan has been digging in the barren mountains for so many days, and he has unearthed many precious fossils. Many experts have come here because of the fossils he dug.
Now Wang Xiaoshan is well-known in the fossil circle, and everyone who is an expert knows him.
