Wang Xiaoshan took the camera and asked the audience to take a closer look at the black tumor on the stone.
"Let me tell you the answer. This thing that looks like a black tumor is actually a dinosaur egg."
Dinosaur eggs have been unearthed in Huangshan before, and many viewers have seen them. Even if they haven't seen them in the live broadcast, they have seen them online or in museums.
The dinosaur eggs that the audience has seen before were relatively large, like a ball. The dinosaur egg that Wang Xiaoshan showed everyone today is about the same size as a quail egg.
It is generally accepted that ancient creatures were huge, but now that such a small dinosaur egg suddenly appears, everyone feels it is a bit strange.
[Dinosaur eggs? Quail-level dinosaurs? What can such a big dinosaur do? If it can't even defeat an ant, isn't it like being slaughtered every day?]
[Mom, shouldn’t the weight of ancient dinosaurs start at 100 kilograms and not be capped? What does it mean to be so small? 】
[With such a small body, I really didn’t think about dinosaur eggs at first. Who would have thought that such a small thing could actually be an egg.]
[It is not easy to preserve such a small dinosaur egg fossil. Unfortunately, it has become a fossil. It would be great if it were a real egg. Let’s hatch it and see what kind of dinosaur it is!]
[Can Lao Wang tell from the eggshell what kind of dinosaur the egg was? It seems he knows the name of this dinosaur!]
Dinosaur fossils have been buried underground for thousands of years. Due to the impact of environmental changes, fossils of large dinosaurs are usually easy to preserve.
Small dinosaur fossils are difficult to preserve. The number of fossils discovered by humans is limited, and new dinosaur fossils are discovered almost every year.
Just like today's dinosaur egg fossil, which is similar to the size of a quail egg, there is definitely a kind of dinosaur inside, and the dinosaur inside may be an unknown dinosaur.
Such a small dinosaur will not be very big when it reaches adulthood. It would be good if it could grow to one or two kilograms.
"I don't know what kind of dinosaur is inside this egg. It should be a new species!"
"Has any audience seen such a big dinosaur egg?"
This is the first time Wang Xiaoshan has seen such a large dinosaur fossil. He is not sure whether there are such large dinosaur fossils in other parts of the country.
There must be small dinosaur fossils that have been preserved, but I don’t know which one is bigger than the dinosaur fossil from Huangshan.
[It should be a new species. I have never seen such a large dinosaur egg fossil when I went to the Dinosaur Museum. Why don’t Lao Wang pry it open and take a look? 】
[Maybe it’s called Quail Dragon, the ancestor of the quail. With such a small egg and such a thin shell, it’s not easy to preserve it until now. 】
[I just checked online and found no dinosaur egg fossils that are smaller than the one that Lao Wang is holding!]
[Hurry and search under the pit where this dinosaur egg was found to see if there are any fossils of the dinosaur mother inside. Maybe you can find the egg’s parents. 】
[Come on, just because eggs can be preserved doesn’t mean that dinosaur fossils can be preserved. The bones of such small dinosaurs are too brittle, and the probability of being fossilized is very low.]
None of the audience had seen it before, so Wang Xiaoshan showed them the dinosaur egg fossil just at noon.
After Wang Xiaoshan finished speaking to the audience, it was time for lunch, and the staff had all returned from the mountains.
When the staff saw Wang Xiaoshan holding a camera and showing the audience a stone, everyone came over to see what the audience was looking at.
When it's time for lunch, the staff at Huangshan will reflexively go to the pit dug by Wang Xiaoshan to take a look.
The staff made a miscalculation today. Wang Xiaoshan was not in the pit when they passed by, and there were no fossils in the pit, so they quickly came down from the mountain.
When the staff came down, Wang Xiaoshan had just finished explaining to the audience. The staff came a step late and didn't even hear the explanation.
Captain Shi watched a group of people gathered around the small stone for a long time and had no choice but to explain, "The black tumor on this stone is a dinosaur egg."
"You can only look at this fossil but not touch it. After a while, you'll feel like it's bald."
Captain Shi repeated what Wang Xiaoshan said just now. After hearing this, the staff were a little unbelievable. The world is really so big and full of wonders.
At this time, Expert Chen was also nearby. He had also looked at the stone just now, but he didn't see any clues.
After listening to what Captain Shi said, Expert Chen took the stone and looked at it carefully for a long time, and discussed it with the experts who came with him for a while before confirming that it was a dinosaur egg.
Expert Chen stayed in Huangshan for two days. The longer he stayed, the less he wanted to leave. The treasure in Huangshan was too good, and Wang Xiaoshan was too capable.
It took several of their experts a long time of research to come to a conclusion, but Wang Xiaoshan could figure it out in a moment.
Expert Chen really admired Wang Xiaoshan. If he didn't have other tasks, he would have stayed in the barren mountain for ten days and a half.
Expert Chen has left Wang Xiaoshan's contact information. He is going back to see if there are any big projects in the near future. Then he can call Wang Xiaoshan together.
Participating in a project together will allow Expert Chen to meet Wang Xiaoshan more often, which will give him more time to discuss fossils together.
After lunch, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing started writing the manuscript immediately. Such a small dinosaur fossil might be able to apply for a world record, so they must write carefully.
The two reporters were checking information while writing the article. Today's dinosaur egg fossils were too small and they didn't know exactly what kind of dinosaur they were. They could only find some information on the Internet for reference.
Wang Xiaoshan was not idle at noon. He had already started assembling the megalodon fossil. Director Wei sent him some photos of the assembly.
Wang Xiaoshan thought some of the photos were good, so he uploaded them to a blog to let viewers see the progress of the fossil assembly.
The weather today was suitable for digging holes. Wang Xiaoshan didn't dig anything out in the morning. He didn't take a nap at noon. He rested for half an hour after dinner and then set off for the mountains.
"Dear viewers, start work early today at noon and try to dig out the fossils as soon as possible!"
"I'll take you to see the conditions of other pits first."
[What is going on? Lao Wang started work a little early today. I am not used to it. Will Lao Wang prepare to start work early in the future? 】
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [I was so busy looking at the little dinosaur eggs just now that I forgot to look at the fossils excavated from other pits. I don’t know if any good things were unearthed from other pits today.
!]
[Is Lao Wang planning to dig two pits in one day? If we start work so early, we have to dig two pits in one day. One pit is not enough to see. 】
[I just saw such a small dinosaur egg. When will I dig out a super big dinosaur egg? I don’t know how big the largest dinosaur egg is.]
[Lao Wang just took the small dinosaur egg back and studied it. If you know what kind of dinosaur is inside, remember to tell us. 】
The audience was happy to see Wang Xiaoshan start work so early. If he excavated earlier, the audience could see the fossils under the pit earlier. If he was faster, he might be able to dig two pits.
Some viewers are obsessed with dinosaur eggs. They just saw a mini dinosaur egg, and now they want to see a super-large dinosaur egg.
Fossils are not that easy to dig up. You can dig up whatever you want to see.
The audience wants to know what kind of dinosaur is inside the mini dinosaur egg, but Wang Xiaoshan can satisfy the audience's request. He can tell everyone when the fossils are taken away and the results are obtained.
The digging of other pits this morning was also not very good. Nothing was dug out from many pits, but something was dug out from a few pits.
Not all the things in the pit have been excavated, and Wang Xiaoshan is not sure whether they are fossils or patterns on the stones.
Those who are unsure can only wait until the staff release the stones from the pit.
After watching it, Wang Xiaoshan took the camera to the pit he was digging. When he saw the various stones in the pit, he shook his head. It was really annoying.
"Everyone, I have started work. There are too many rocks in the pit. I may not be able to chat with you for a while."
"I'll talk to you after I dig out the stone layer."
[No, let’s chat while digging. We have nothing to do at noon. Come and chat with us. Don’t worry about the fossils. You can speed up the digging after lunch break. 】
[Old Wang, why don't you chat for ten minutes before you dig? You rarely show up at noon, so you should accompany us well and stop playing with rocks.]
[Old Wang, there are so many small stones in your pit. Could it be that they are small dinosaur fossils? You must be careful when digging so as not to dig out the fossils. 】
[Let Lao Wang dig quickly. There are so many stones and we don’t know when they will be excavated. It would be better to dig out the fossils as soon as possible and sit down and chat slowly. 】
[Lao Wang is holding the camera aside. If you have time, just chat with us. If you don’t have time, dig holes. This will not delay your digging. 】
Today, Wang Xiaoshan rarely dug a hole at noon. The audience didn't want to let him go. Some wanted him to dig a hole quickly, and some wanted to chat with him. There were so many viewers that it became difficult for everyone to agree.
"I put the camera on the wall of the pit. I'll chat with everyone when I have time. If I don't have time, forget it."
The digging of other holes in the barren mountain has not yet started, so Wang Xiaoshan can only let the audience watch him dig for a while.
After saying that, Wang Xiaoshan started digging. There were too many stones and he couldn't lift them quickly, so he could only dig down bit by bit.
Someone is responsible for helping Wang Xiaoshan transport the soil outside, so he can dig stones in the pit with peace of mind.
There are so many stones in this pit, sometimes big and sometimes small. Wang Xiaoshan also dug out several stones weighing more than 20 kilograms. Today, we really dug a stone pit.
After digging for more than half an hour, Wang Xiaoshan only dug to a depth of a few dozen centimeters. These stones really delayed things.
Many staff members saw Wang Xiaoshan running into the mountains to dig holes. They were very curious and ran up. They wanted to see what Wang Xiaoshan could dig out.
When the staff came and saw the stones in the pit, they wanted to go down and help Wang Xiaoshan, but the pit was so big that they couldn't stand even if they all came in. They could only watch Wang Xiaoshan dig the pit.
After digging for almost an hour, there were finally fewer stones in the pit. Wang Xiaoshan felt that this time he was not digging a treasure pit, but a human pit. There were too many stones in the pit.
[Looking at Lao Wang digging for more than an hour, he didn’t see much soil dug out, but a lot of stones were transported out. This is a stone cave!]
[With fewer stones, Lao Wang can speed up and dig out the fossils in the pit quickly. I really don’t want to look at the stones anymore!]
[Old Wang, I just saw that you uploaded some photos of the Megalodon assembly. It seems that the Megalodon takes it very seriously, and you started to put it together so quickly!]
[Have any complete whale fossils been unearthed from Lao Wang’s previous whale pit? If so, remember to let us take a look!]
[Now when I see particularly small, round stones, they look like dinosaur fossils, and I feel like I’m going to be possessed.]
When the audience saw Wang Xiaoshan stop and look at the camera, the audience immediately began to send comments to Wang Xiaoshan. Wang Xiaoshan had been digging holes for more than an hour without interacting with the audience.
There were so many barrages that Wang Xiaoshan couldn't see them at all. He could only see one comment and reply to that one.
"Don't worry, everyone, the stone is gone and we will speed up and dig out the fossil as soon as possible."
"There were no dinosaur fossils in the rocks I dug out just now. I didn't pay attention to the beautiful rocks. There were too many rocks to see."
"I showed everyone the whale fossils this morning. There are no particularly complete ones, only the broken ones!"
"Eight out of ten small stones in the wild are not dinosaur egg fossils. There are very few small dinosaur egg fossils, and almost none are exposed on the ground."
"It's better to pick up some beautiful rocks than to pick up fossils. Fossils are not easy to pick up."
"There are too many barrages, so I won't reply to them one by one. I will take a break and we will continue digging in a while."
During the hour that Wang Xiaoshan was digging, there were always people around the pit, and some workers were free to pull out the stones dug out of his pit.
Since a small dinosaur fossil was dug out of a pit in the morning, the staff and the audience were a little obsessed. When they saw the small stone, they thought it was a dinosaur egg.
Wang Xiaoshan drank some water, rested for about ten minutes, and then started digging holes again. Without waiting for time, he had already been delayed for an hour digging rocks. He wanted to speed up the progress.
As soon as there were fewer stones, Wang Xiaoshan's speed picked up, and the staff who helped him transport soil soon moved a small cart of soil out of the pit.
After picking up speed, Wang Xiaoshan dug the hole deeper and deeper. After more than 40 minutes, he stopped digging. He squatted down and began to dig out the soil in the hole bit by bit with a small shovel.
The audience became excited when they saw Wang Xiaoshan squatting down. As long as he squatted down and changed tools, it meant that he had dug something. The audience would have to wait to find out what it was.
Wang Xiaoshan dug for a while, then took the camera to let the audience see what he dug out in the pit.
"Dear viewers, I have found something. I don't know exactly what it is yet, so let everyone take a look first!"
[Old Wang, what is this thing you dug out? Is it a fossil or a different stone? 】
[Is this the skull of some animal? But why is there a point on one end? Is it a dinosaur with a sharp beak? 】
[If I hadn’t found this in the pit, I would have thought this white thing was a cuttlefish bone. What are you digging for, Lao Wang?]
[I really can’t tell what Lao Wang dug up. Lao Wang, you’d better dig out the whole thing quickly, that way it will be easier to identify.]
[Old Wang, we have finished reading. You can continue digging. Dig quickly. We can’t wait to find out what is under the pit. 】
