Several experts looked at it for a long time but still couldn't tell what kind of shark's teeth it belonged to. Ancient sharks were very big and had very small teeth, so it was a bit difficult to judge.
Many people can tell that the teeth dug out by Wang Xiaoshan are shark teeth. No one knows the specific name of the shark.
Expert Chen and others couldn't figure out what kind of shark it was, so they had to ask Wang Xiaoshan.
When the experts and Director Wei came to the edge of the pit dug by Wang Xiaoshan and were about to go down the tunnel, several people saw a Do Not Disturb sign placed at the entrance of the tunnel.
This sign was specially made by Captain Shi for Wang Xiaoshan to prevent anyone from disturbing Wang Xiaoshan from digging the hole.
Wang Xiaoshan doesn't like to be disturbed by others when digging fossils, especially people who like to go down to the pit to look at the fossils. It's okay to look at them outside the pit, but going down into the pit would disturb him too much.
Expert Chen and the others were not too determined to give up. Since they couldn't see many people, they wanted to wait outside the pit and ask Wang Xiaoshan when he came out.
Waited for more than half an hour.
Director Wei said: "Let's go, Lao Wang won't be out for a while."
Expert Chen nodded: "Yes."
When Wang Xiaoshan was digging in the pit, he would put something into the basket from time to time. Anyone outside the pit could guess that what he put in it must be fossils.
If Wang Xiaoshan didn't come out, no one would know what kind of fossils he put in the basket.
Expert Chen had no choice but to study the fossils of fish-in-fish again. Expert Chen and his team had planned to go back in the afternoon and would study it after the fossils were transported back.
But before they could leave, Wang Xiaoshan dug up new fossils. Before one fossil could be understood, the second one came.
Expert Chen and his party had no choice but to change their itinerary. They planned to leave later and wait until they returned to Wangxiaoshan to take out the fossils before leaving.
Expert Chen discovered that Wang Xiaoshan was even more powerful than they thought. He unearthed so many rare fossils that they couldn't even study them.
In the afternoon, neither Li Miaomiao nor Cao Bingbing went to the mountains to look for Wang Xiaoshan. They were both at the camp studying the shark fossils brought back by Captain Shi just now.
Wang Xiaoshan took the camera into the pit and chatted with the audience from time to time. He didn't have time to chat with the two reporters when they were in the pit.
After Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing finished studying the fossils, they went to the Internet to find information. The two of them had written an article about Helicoprion before, and they had some information about sharks saved on their computers.
This time they are going to find more information about giant sharks. After Wang Xiaoshan digs out the fossils and explains them, they can start writing the manuscript.
At this time, Wang Xiaoshan was digging for shark teeth in the pit. There were a lot of teeth this time, and he couldn't finish digging for a long time.
During the excavation process, Wang Xiaoshan not only dug out teeth, but also unearthed some fossilized fish bones. The fossilized fish bones were damaged and needed to be spliced to reveal their original appearance.
There were many fossils and they were scattered. Wang Xiaoshan spent most of his time squatting in the pit digging for fossils. The engineer shovel was no longer in use. He used a small shovel similar to a gardener's shovel to dig.
Normally, Wang Xiaoshan rarely digs out fossils that are as scattered as today. The fossils that he excavated in the past were all shaped and easier to dig. They are not as scattered as today, which is very troublesome to dig out. It can take a long time to dig out.
"There are a lot of teeth and fish bones excavated today. Audiences who want to see the fossils may have to wait a little longer."
[Old Wang, it’s okay, you can dig slowly, we are not in a hurry, so we can chat with you, otherwise digging will be boring.]
[There are so many fossils today. I feel like Lao Wang can dig out a lot of them just by digging. Lao Wang, why don’t you find someone to dig with you? I’m afraid you won’t be able to finish digging today alone!]
[Old Wang, I’m counting for you. You just dug out a total of fifty fossils. I want to see how many you can dig out today.]
[When digging, please wipe it with your hands, so that we can clearly see whether the dug out are teeth or other fossils!]
[Are you interested in trying to piece together the fossil that Lao Wang unearthed today? Let’s see what this shark looks like. 】
Wang Xiaoshan dug out the fossils from the pit and put them directly into the basket. The audience could not tell whether the fossils he dug out were teeth or other parts of the fossils.
The audience hopes that Wang Xiaoshan can rub the fossils when he digs, so that the audience can clearly see what fossils he dug up.
There are so many fossils that Wang Xiaoshan can't clean them all. If he cleans each one and lets the audience see it, he doesn't know when the fossils in the pit can be dug out.
Wang Xiaoshan did not expect that some spectators were still counting how many fossils he had dug out. He did not count, but there were indeed a lot of fossils in the basket.
"Forget it, just clean it up. There are a lot of fossils, we have to dig them out, and we have to clean them up. I will show them to everyone later when they are all dug out!"
After digging for a while, Wang Xiaoshan was going to hand it over to the staff at Barren Mountain to clean up. There were a lot of large and small fossils, and it would be too time-consuming for him to clean them alone.
"Everyone wants to know what kind of fossils are excavated. I will tell you when I dig them later."
Shark tooth fossils are very different from other fossils. Wang Xiaoshan can tell what fossil they are by just touching them without cleaning them.
If the audience wants to know what kind of fossil it is, Wang Xiaoshan can tell everyone. If you want to see it cleaned up, you have to wait.
[Lao Wang, why are the fossils you dug up this time so broken? They don’t even have a decent shape. Could it be that the fossils this time were amputated? 】
[Lao Wang’s influence in Barren Mountain is so great. If you yell, many people will come to help. Find someone to help clean up. The beautiful reporter can come and help if you have nothing to do! 】
[Okay, dig it out and tell us what fossils it is, otherwise we will think you are loading rocks into the basket!] [There are so many fossils in the pit, can Lao Wang dig out all the fossils before the live broadcast today?
, it’s really worrying!]
[The swordfish is so well preserved, but the shark is so well preserved that it’s not complete, and you can’t even dig it out to see the whole thing!]
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What was dug out yesterday was a fish, and what is dug out today is another fish. In the minds of the audience, sharks are definitely longer and bigger than swordfish.
.
The saberfish dug out yesterday was extremely well preserved, even the fish in its stomach was preserved, but the sharks larger than the saberfish were not completely preserved.
"Let me tell you some trivia first. Both ancient sharks and modern sharks have well-developed muscles, a fierce appearance, and a pair of sharp teeth."
"What people didn't expect is that sharks have cartilage heads. The skeleton of sharks is composed of cartilage. Cartilage is light, so it is difficult to preserve it."
"As we all know, cartilage is the white bone inside the ribs that tastes crunchy."
"Cartilage is difficult to fossilize, which is why only the harder jaws and teeth of shark fossils are usually preserved."
[The Helicoprion excavated last time had only teeth and no body. It seems that it is quite difficult to see what the ancient shark looked like! 】
[If you can’t see the body of a shark, you can just look at its teeth and jaws. It’s much better than not seeing anything at all. You can estimate the size of the shark until you see the teeth.]
[Without hard bones, you can sink to the deep sea and survive under the high pressure of the deep sea. Cartilage also has the benefits of cartilage!]
[It seems that the bones of the swordfish dug out by Lao Wang yesterday are much harder than the bones of sharks. It seems that hard bones also have the benefits of hard bones!]
[No wonder it has to be formed. It seems that what Lao Wang dug out should be teeth and jaws. I don’t know if the mouth can be made out of the jaws alone. 】
After knowing that the shark excavated by Wang Xiaoshan this time was cartilage, the audience gave up hope on the entire shark fossil. Cartilage cannot be preserved. This fact cannot be changed.
The audience is now thinking that since so many fossils of teeth and jaws have been excavated, the mouth part can be pieced together so that they can see how big the shark's mouth is.
Just looking at the teeth, people can think of the size of the shark, but without seeing the fossils, the audience will always feel a bit different.
Whether the excavated teeth and jaws can be pieced together depends on whether the jaws are completely unearthed. If the jaws are complete, they can be pieced together. If the jaws are incomplete, they will not be used.
The forehead bone fossils Wang Xiaoshan has excavated so far are not large, so it would be very difficult to piece them together.
Now Wang Xiaoshan will pinch the soil he digs out from the pit to see if there are any fossils in it. The fossils are small, so they have to be dug very carefully.
Wang Xiaoshan talked to the audience for a while and then continued to dig. He just started and the audience started chatting among themselves again.
Captain Shi ran to find Wang Xiaoshan after finishing his work in the camp. He was a little anxious when he saw that Wang Xiaoshan had been digging in the pit for a long time and still didn't come out.
Captain Shi looked at the fossils in the frame and said, "Old Wang, the fossils are a bit broken today. Do you need to send someone over to help you?"
Wang Xiaoshan waved his hand: "No, the fossils dug now are not big, and there are too many people to stand in the pit. After a while, the basket will be almost full. You can find someone to help me clean up the soil on it!"
Captain Shi: "Okay, if you need to clean it up later, just give me a call and I'll have someone come and move it away and take it to the camp to clean it up."
After speaking, Captain Shi went out. He also went to arrange the cleaning work. There were more fossils this time, so he needed to find a few more people to clean them together.
When cleaning, you also need to sort them, put fossilized teeth together with fossilized teeth, and put fossilized jaws together with fossilized jaws.
Separate them clearly when cleaning to facilitate subsequent transportation and assembly.
Wang Xiaoshan dug in the pit for another half an hour, then he stopped. His legs were numb from squatting all the time. Digging the pit was not tiring, but squatting to dig for fossils was really tiring.
When Li Miaomiao saw that Wang Xiaoshan was resting, she ran to the pit to chat with Wang Xiaoshan.
Li Miaomiao: "How's the digging going?"
Wang Xiaoshan: "There are still many that have not been dug out. There are so many fossils that it makes people heartbroken."
Li Miaomiao looked at the fossils in the basket and asked, "Are you going to clean these fossils later?"
Wang Xiaoshan: "I asked Captain Shi to arrange for people to clean it up in a while. There are so many things that I can't clean up alone."
Li Miaomiao: "Then I'll get the tools and I'll help you clean it up."
Wang Xiaoshan: "Okay, come on, you can clean it up just enough for the audience to see."
Li Miaomiao: "Okay."
After saying that, Li Miaomiao ran out. She ran to the camp to get tools, rags and brushes. She also called Cao Bingbing.
The two of them had just finished searching for information in the camp, but Wang Xiaoshan's fossils hadn't been dug out yet, so they couldn't write a manuscript.
The two of them went for a walk in the mountains, and when they had nothing to do, Li Miaomiao pulled Cao Bingbing over to clean up together.
Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing especially like to clean fossils. When Wang Xiaoshan digs out fossils and has no time to clean them, they both like to help.
Fossils can usually be seen in museums, but it is very difficult to touch them. Especially the fossils of some rare species can only be seen but not touched.
Ten minutes later, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing came with tools and small stools. They were quite prepared.
Li Miaomiao: "Here, I brought you a Mazha!"
Wang Xiaoshan put Mazha aside and said: "It's not convenient to dig while sitting down. I'll expand the tunnel for you so that you two can sit side by side on the tunnel and dig."
Wang Xiaoshan wanted to dig fossils in the pit, and the two reporters could not come down. The reporters could only clean the fossils in the tunnel. He expanded the part of the tunnel near the bottom of the pit to make it easier for two people to sit.
Now Wang Xiaoshan does not need to transport the soil from the pit. The fossils are small and the digging is slow. The amount of soil excavated is small. Reporters cleaning the fossils in the tunnel will not affect his excavation.
When Li Miaomiao went back just now, Wang Xiaoshan asked her to bring up a basket and separate the cleaned ones from the undone ones.
As soon as Wang Xiaoshan finished expanding the pit, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing began to work. The fossils in the basket were all soil, and the two reporters did not pick which one to clean.
The two reporters have cleaned fossils in the barren mountains several times, so they are relatively experienced. There is no secret to cleaning these small fossils, just be gentle when cleaning.
Wang Xiaoshan rested for a while and was ready to continue digging. At this time, two reporters had already cleared out five fossils. He took a camera and let the audience take a look.
"Dear viewers, these are the fossils that were cleaned up just now. Five of them were cleaned up. Three of them are tooth fossils and two should be jaw fossils."
[Wow, I finally cleaned up the fossils. Lao Wang should have done this a long time ago. It’s not tiring to work with men and women, otherwise it would be boring to be alone in the pit. 】
[Old Wang, hurry up and dig. The beauties will finish cleaning up in a while. You hurry up and dig out more, otherwise there will be nothing to clean up in a while. 】
[The three cleaned teeth are almost as long as the first tooth. It seems that there is only one shark in this pit!]
[When Lao Wang was digging, he looked to see if there were any particularly long teeth. I was very curious about the length of the longest tooth of the shark that Lao Wang dug out this time!]
[What a big mouth this shark must have. The teeth are all so long. It’s almost catching up with the monster.]
The audience was very happy to see the cleaned fossils. After the fossils were cleaned, Wang Xiaoshan could tell the audience about shark fossils.
Clean up early and watch early. The audience is really afraid that when the live broadcast ends, Wang Xiaoshan has not finished digging and has not had time to clean up.
