Li Miaomiao chatted with Wang Xiaoshan for a while and then ran to the whale pit to see the fossils in the pit. She had made preparations in advance and waited until the excavation was almost complete, so she could write the manuscript.
Wang Xiaoshan didn't pay much attention to the whale pit. There were many whale fossils unearthed near the whale pit, but the complete ones have not been dug out yet.
Wang Xiaoshan, who dug up a complete whale fossil, can show it to the audience. He has already shown the incomplete whale fossil to the audience before.
After Li Miaomiao left before lunch, Wang Xiaoshan continued digging. It was important to dig out the fossils early.
The hole Wang Xiaoshan dug today was not difficult to dig. There were small stones in the hole but not many, so it did not affect his digging.
Wang Xiaoshan didn't dig out the fossils in the pit before lunch. The fossils were buried deeper this time. Fortunately, the pit was easier to dig, otherwise he wouldn't know when they would be dug out.
When it was almost lunch time, Wang Xiaoshan came out of the pit and took the audience for a walk around the other pits with his camera to see what was dug out of the other pits.
"Everyone in the audience just showed you the fossils excavated in the morning. The number is a bit small. They should be unearthed in the afternoon!"
[Except for a mutilated whale skull, there is nothing to see in other pits, and very little was unearthed in the morning. 】
[Old Wang will look at you in the afternoon. You must dig out good things. I looked lonely in the morning. I don’t want to continue to be lonely in the afternoon! 】
[Lao Wang dug quite quickly, but the fossils were buried a bit deep. If they were not too deep, they would have been able to dig out the fossils in the morning. 】
[Fortunately, the fossil of the fish in the fish was not transported away. If it had been transported away, we would only be able to watch digging holes this morning. It would not be good at all if the fossils were transported too fast! 】
[Lao Wang, remember to start work early after dinner. Don’t take a nap. It would be better to finish digging early and go back to sleep at night. There are many mosquitoes and bugs when you sleep in the mountains. 】
There were a few fossils excavated in the morning. Fortunately, the fossil of the fish in the fish was still there. If that fossil was not there, the audience would really have to watch digging holes all morning.
Nowadays, fossils are transported away the same day they are excavated. If the audience doesn’t see the fossils that day, they won’t see anything the next day.
After Wang Xiaoshan told the audience, he went to have lunch. There was nothing he could do if he didn't dig up fossils in the morning. If he wanted to see the fossils, he would have to wait until the afternoon.
After dinner, Wang Xiaoshan was resting in the camp when Director Wei came back from the mountains with the experts who came today.
The experts who came today are very interested in the fossils of fishes. Several experts have been studying the fossils all morning. They were so focused on the research that they forgot to eat.
Director Wei came over and said to Wang Xiaoshan: "Old Wang, the fossils you dug up are really more and more amazing."
Wang Xiaoshan smiled and said: "It's just good luck."
Director Wei pointed to a few experts who were having a meal and said, "I'll introduce them to you later."
Wang Xiaoshan took a look and saw that the experts looked very ordinary, no different from the experts and professors who came to Barren Mountain before.
Wang Xiaoshan asked curiously: "What are the backgrounds of these people?"
Director Wei whispered: "He came down from above!"
Wang Xiaoshan understood. These experts came from the General Administration. No wonder Director Wei was always accompanying them. It turned out that they had quite a lot of background.
After the experts finished eating more than ten minutes later, Director Wei took Wang Xiaoshan over and introduced Wang Xiaoshan to the experts.
Among these experts, one expert named Chen is the most powerful. He is very famous in China and has published many academic works.
However, Wang Xiaoshan lost interest after chatting with these experts for a while. The experts kept talking to him about fossils, but he didn't want to talk at all.
After chatting for a while, Wang Xiaoshan found an excuse to leave. It was his time to rest at noon, and he didn't want to talk all day long.
These experts are very interested in the fossils of fish within fish, but Wang Xiaoshan is not very interested in the fossils of fish within fish. He already told the audience about it yesterday.
Wang Xiaoshan went to the mountains after taking a rest at noon. The expert had nothing to do and could study fossils. He was also busy digging fossils, so he had no time to chat.
The workers at other pits started work earlier, and a pit was dug just as Wang Xiaoshan was going up the mountain.
He went over and took a look and saw on the fossil board was a bird's claw. The fossil only had the claws and no body parts.
Wang Xiaoshan took the camera and showed the fossils to the audience.
"This is a fossil that was just dug out of the pit. It is a bird's claw. It is difficult to tell what animal it is with just one claw."
[Lao Wang and the others have now dug out a lot of fossils of marine life. Maybe other parts of the bird have been eaten by animals in the water! 】
[It’s really possible. Isn’t it said that the swordfish has a hobby of eating birds? Lao Wang, look for it. Maybe there are fossils of the swordfish nearby. 】
[Some of the dinosaur fossils excavated from the barren mountains are not creatures from the same period. This bird claw fossil is not necessarily the same as the sword archer fish!]
[Bird claws are nothing to look at. If they are chicken or duck claws, you can consider marinating them to see how they taste. Just forget about bird claws!]
[Let’s watch Lao Wang dig the pits. The fossils excavated from other pits are too weak, and just a bird claw is really not interesting.]
Wang Xiaoshan showed the audience and walked away with the camera. Now there are too many fossils excavated from the barren mountains, and even more of them are incomplete.
For example, Wang Xiaoshan would let the audience see the bird's claws that could be seen just now. Some were so mutilated that they couldn't even tell what they were, so he usually didn't show them to the audience.
Unless the incomplete fossils are particularly stunning, Wang Xiaoshan rarely talks about them to the audience.
In the afternoon, Wang Xiaoshan did not use a drone. In the morning, he let the audience watch him dig holes for a long time. In the afternoon, he had to trick the audience from time to time and chat.
When Wang Xiaoshan was digging a pit in the afternoon, workers from other pits began to surround his pit. The probability of finding fossils in the afternoon was very high, and everyone wanted to see what he dug as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, Director Wei and several experts also came to the edge of the pit dug by Wang Xiaoshan. Now that a tunnel has been dug in the pit, the experts can stand on the edge of the pit and watch him dig up fossils.
Expert Chen said in surprise: "Bureau Wei, Lao Wang is very good at finding fossils, and he is even better at digging holes. This speed is as if the arm is equipped with a small motor!"
Director Wei nodded and said, "Lao Wang is an all-rounder. He can dig, talk, and find. The fact that our city has been able to dig out so many things during this period is all thanks to Lao Wang."
Expert Chen: "Well, he is a rare talent."
Several experts watched for a while and then went to study the fish within the fish. Originally, the experts wanted to go down to the pit to have a look, but they saw that Wang Xiaoshan was too busy and did not go down.
Wang Xiaoshan is indeed very busy now. He has to dig holes and chat with the audience from time to time. Even if the experts come down, he has no time to chat with them.
Wang Xiaoshan's digging went smoothly in the afternoon. He dug under the pit for more than an hour before he found something.
Wang Xiaoshan came out of the pit after digging something. He wiped the soil on the fossil with a cloth and let the audience see the fossil first.
This time Wang Xiaoshan dug a pit, and there were a lot of fossils under the pit. After the audience finished watching, he wanted to continue digging under the pit.
The fossil Wang Xiaoshan showed the audience was about 12 centimeters long. The fossil was not very big and was easy to clean.
"Dear viewers, let me show you, this is the fossil I just dug out of the pit."
[How come the fossils Lao Wang dug out today are also incomplete? He dug them in whole pieces. Don’t dig out such incomplete ones! 】
[The one dug by Lao Wang should not be considered incomplete. It is a complete animal tooth, but this tooth is a bit big.]
[It’s huge, okay? The tooth Lao Wang showed us is at least more than ten centimeters long, and it looks very similar to shark teeth.]
[Shark teeth are only about five centimeters long. These teeth are a bit too long. These flat teeth look like they belong to marine creatures. 】
[What animal would have such big teeth in ancient times? If the teeth alone are so big, how big must the dinosaur be?]
Attentive viewers have already seen that the fossil excavated by Wang Xiaoshan this time is the tooth fossil of a marine creature, and the teeth are very similar to shark teeth.
The problem is that the teeth Wang Xiaoshan dug out are as big as two shark teeth.
It is larger than the teeth of sharks, which means that the owner of the tooth fossils excavated by Wang Xiaoshan this time must be very big and have a very big mouth.
The audience really couldn't figure out what kind of sea creature could have such big teeth, and the teeth were pointed, so it looked like a carnivore.
For a while, the audience in the live broadcast room began to guess that because the teeth looked like sharks, they were probably the ancestors of sharks.
"What I dug out this time are indeed the teeth of sea creatures."
"There are still fossils in the pit, and I have to dig more. Audiences who want to know which marine creature this tooth belongs to must not go away."
[There are also fossils in the pit. It seems that what Lao Wang dug out this time is not a tooth, but maybe a whole shark. Lao Wang, dig it out quickly! 】
[Thinking about shark fossils makes me excited. Lao Wang, hurry up and dig out a whole one. I want to see what the ancient shark looked like! 】
[What Lao Wang dug out this time won’t be the Megalodon, right? Such big teeth are very similar to the teeth of the Megalodon in the movie!]
[The question is, is there really such a creature as the megalodon? Nowadays, movies and TV shows are so random that I can no longer tell which dinosaurs are real and which are fictional. 】
[Didn’t Lao Wang say that there are fossils under the pit? Once Lao Wang digs out all the fossils, won’t he know what dinosaurs are!]
Wang Xiaoshan went to dig a hole, and the audience had already started to search for information on the Internet. This time, the teeth he showed the audience had been cleaned, and the audience could clearly see what the teeth looked like.
The audience followed suit and searched online, but after searching, they found that except for a few sharks with special looks in ancient times, the teeth of other sharks were almost the same.
In ancient times, there were several species of sharks with teeth about 10 centimeters long. There are also photos online, but I don’t know whether they are true or false.
As soon as the audience couldn't find any useful information, they could only watch the live broadcast obediently. The audience now wants Wang Xiaoshan to dig out the fossils as soon as possible.
As long as the entire shark fossil is dug out, the audience will be able to tell what kind of shark Wang Xiaoshan dug up this time by looking at the photos on the Internet.
After Wang Xiaoshan showed the audience, he put the shark teeth in his pocket and continued digging. It was easier to throw a small tooth outside the pit and it was safer to keep it on his body.
After the staff at Huangshan learned that Wang Xiaoshan had dug out shark teeth, they all ran to the edge of the pit to look at the teeth, but they didn't see anything when they came to the edge of the pit.
Seeing more and more people watching, Wang Xiaoshan called Captain Shi. They all gathered around the pit and it would easily cause crowding. After a while, people would fall down.
Five minutes later, Captain Shi came to the pit carrying a basket. The basket was brought here by Wang Xiaoshan just now.
Wang Xiaoshan handed the fossil he just dug out to Captain Shi: "This is the fossil that was just dug up. You can take it out for everyone to see."
Wang Xiaoshan felt uneasy about giving the fossil to others because it was too small, so he had to ask Captain Shi to take it to the staff to see. After seeing it, there were fewer people watching, otherwise it would be too dangerous to stay around the pit.
Captain Shi: "Okay, I'll get it back for you after I finish reading it."
Wang Xiaoshan waved his hand: "Don't take it back. Just take it back to the camp. Tell everyone that they want to see the camp and stop hanging around me."
Captain Shi: "Okay, I'll tell everyone later."
After speaking, Captain Shi took the shark teeth and went out. As soon as he went out, he was surrounded by the staff.
"Captain, let us see the tooth that Lao Wang dug out."
"What teeth, let us see first!"
"After waiting for a long time, the tooth was finally taken out!"
...
The staff talked non-stop around Captain Shi, and Captain Shi directly took out the shark fossil to satisfy the curiosity of the staff.
There is only one fossil of a shark tooth. Captain Shi did not let everyone touch it, just look at it. The fossil would peel off after one person touched it a few times.
Captain Shi said to those who had finished watching: "Go back to work after watching. Don't hang around the pit all the time. If you want to take a break, go back to the camp and watch."
The staff came one after another after watching it. Almost all the staff in Huangshan came to see it again.
Everyone watching had left. When Captain Shi walked to the fish pit with the fossil, Director Wei stopped him again.
Director Wei said in confusion: "What were everyone doing just now? They were all running into the mountains."
Captain Shi took out the fossil from his pocket and said, "Lao Wang dug out a tooth just now, and everyone went to see the tooth."
Director Wei took the tooth and looked at it carefully for a while: "This tooth is so big. I don't know what kind of shark it is. By the way, are there any other teeth besides this one?"
Captain Shi: "There is still something in the pit. Lao Wang is digging it, but it hasn't been dug out yet!"
Director Wei: "Don't leave yet, come with me to the pit."
Director Wei took the fossils to the pit and let Expert Chen and others take a look at the fossils that Wang Xiaoshan had just dug up.
Director Wei walked over and said: "Mr. Chen, this is the shark fossil that Lao Wang dug out in the mountain just now. Take a look!"
Expert Chen was surprised and said: "We have dug up fossils so quickly. Lao Wang is really amazing. Come and have a look."
Expert Chen took the shark tooth and looked at it carefully for a long time with several experts nearby.
Expert Chen: "These are indeed the teeth of an ancient shark. The specific type of shark cannot be identified yet."
"Judging from the teeth, this shark is very large and should be quite ferocious."
