After the news spread quickly, Captain Shi asked and ran to the pit. When he saw many staff gathered around the pit, he quickly told everyone to disperse.
Not all the fossils in the pit were excavated. People gathered around the pit and couldn't see the fossils. This also delayed the excavation of other pits.
After urging all the onlookers to leave, Captain Shi ran to the pit. He didn't know what was being dug in the pit.
But since Wang Xiaoshan was watching in the pit, Captain Shi felt that the fossils in the pit should be special.
Captain Shi gave the staff instructions to contact him if they needed help, and he asked the staff to dig out the fossils as soon as possible.
Wang Xiaoshan stayed in the pit for a while, and he couldn't dig out all the fossils for a long time.
While the fossils in the pit have not been dug out, Wang Xiaoshan will take the audience to other pits.
He took the camera and let the audience take a look at the situation in the pit.
"Dear viewers, it will take a while to dig out the fossils from this pit. I will take you to see the fossils in other pits first."
[Lao Wang, don’t leave. Just wait. Maybe the fossils in the pit will be dug out soon. We are still waiting to see!]
[Arrange a few more people to dig. There are a few people and the digging speed is a bit slow. Can we still see the fossils inside before the end of today's live broadcast? 】
[Look at each pit one by one. Don’t go to other pits. I just want to know what kind of animal the bones in this pit are.]
[It’s okay to go to other pits. Waiting here is just waiting. It’s better to go and see the situation in other pits. Maybe good things can be dug out of other pits! 】
[Old Wang, go back quickly. If there are no fossils for you in other pits, we will come back early!]
Most of the viewers in the live broadcast room wanted to stay in the pit and watch the staff dig out fossils. The audience wanted to know for the first time what kind of animal the fossils in the pit were.
There are still a small number of viewers who still want to see what other pits are like. It’s boring to stay in the pits, so why not go to other pits to see them?
Wang Xiaoshan stayed in the pit with his camera, and the staff digging for fossils in the pit felt a little unnatural when digging.
After leaving the pit, Wang Xiaoshan took the camera to other pits. When he came out of the pit, the staff of some nearby pits immediately ran down there.
Wang Xiaoshan stood next to the pits and tried his best to let the audience see all the pits in Huangshan.
The first pit he came to dug out a fossil of a plant branch and leaf. The fossil was relatively well preserved.
Wang Xiaoshan took the camera and asked the audience to take a closer look. The number of preserved plant fossils was very small. Only a few leaf fossils had been excavated in the barren mountains before.
Wang Xiaoshan let the audience watch the first pit and then took them to the second pit. There were fossils in each pit, but some were more impressive and some were less interesting.
From the mountain to the mountain, Wang Xiaoshan was not in a hurry to go back when he arrived at the camp. He wanted to drink some water and rest for three to five minutes.
There happened to be an insect fossil in the camp. Wang Xiaoshan put the camera next to it and let the audience look at it for a while, then he would go to the mountains later.
"Friends in the audience, you can take a look at this fossil first. I'm going to drink some water and take a rest."
[Old Wang, have a good rest and come back early. We are still waiting for you to take us to see the pit with many bones. Don’t leave and never come back!]
[The leaf fossil just now is really good, it looks just like the real thing. This kind of plant fossil is much prettier than animal fossils!]
[The preserved dinosaur fossils are all skeletons, while plants can preserve their stems and leaves, which are much prettier than bones, which are dry!]
[All the plants have been preserved are their branches and leaves. The number is too small to tell how big the original plant was. It would be great if only one tree could be preserved!]
[When a tree is buried in the soil for a long time, it turns into momo. If you have to see the fossil of the tree, go see the coal! 】
Wang Xiaoshan went to rest, and the audience started chatting among themselves. The audience had just seen a lot of fossils, and everyone was discussing their views on fossils.
Two reporters, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing, were busy writing articles in the camp. When they saw Wang Xiaoshan coming back, they hurriedly called Wang Xiaoshan over.
Li Miaomiao: "Old Wang, have you dug out all the bone fossils in the pit you just went to?"
Wang Xiaoshan: "Not yet. I have to wait for a while. When your manuscript is almost finished, you can go and take a look."
Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing were both busy writing manuscripts and had no time to watch the video all the time. They could only glance at it occasionally.
The two of them only knew that a lot of small fossil bones were dug out from under a pit. They didn't know whether the pit had been dug out or what kind of animal they belonged to.
Li Miaomiao: "Okay, then I'll write faster."
The two reporters hadn't finished writing about the fossils just now, and now another one has arrived. There are so many fossils that they can't finish writing.
Wang Xiaoshan stayed at the camp for more than ten minutes and then went to the mountains with his camera to see how the pit with many bones was being dug.
Before he reached Wang Xiaoshan, he saw a pit with people constantly coming in and out. He knew without even thinking that the pit was the one he was going to.
The staff at Huangshan all know each other, and whenever someone comes down to the pit, the staff will let them see the fossils in the pit.
The staff were a little confused after reading it. What kind of animal fossils are these and why are there so many.
The staff of Huangshan had dug fossils in other places before coming to Huangshan. They were not newbies, but this was the first time they had seen a pile of scattered bones like today.
Wang Xiaoshan went to the pit and saw that the progress was a bit busy: "Hurry up, I will get off work in a while. If you are so slow, you won't be able to see the fossils before get off work."
The staff smiled and sped up. Part of the fossil had already been dug out. No one wanted to wait until tomorrow to reveal the answer.
When the other pit workers saw Wang Xiaoshan coming, they all went back to dig their own pits. They had to dig faster, otherwise they wouldn't have time to listen to Wang Xiaoshan's talk later.
The fossil was not completely released, so the audience could only watch the excavation process in the live broadcast room. Fortunately, the audience was not kept waiting for too long.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It took more than half an hour to dig out the fossils in the pit, and the staff quickly used brushes to brush off all the soil on them.
The fossils excavated this time are not particularly large, only one square meter at most.
After the staff cleaned up the fossils, they went to the side to wait. His work had been completed, and now it was time to look at Wang Xiaoshan's.
Wang Xiaoshan took the camera to show the audience the fossils in the pit.
Most of the fossils in the pit have fallen apart, and a few of them can be roughly seen. If you don't look carefully, you can only see a pile of bones in the pit.
"Dear viewers, these are all the fossils in the pit!"
[The number of bone fossils is not as much as expected. I thought I would get three or four square bones, but I didn’t expect it to be this small!]
[It is not easy to form fossils. Maybe there were more than this many animals in the past, but these animals have become fossils, and the others have rotted away.]
[After looking for a long time, I couldn’t tell what kind of animal fossils were in the pit. I could only tell that the animals in the pit were not big in size.]
[Old Wang, let me tell you. You really can’t see anything. It’s all turned into bones. I can’t even tell which ones are bones and which ones are heads.]
[Lao Wang, please tell us about this pile of bones. It’s rare to see such a mess of bone fossils. 】
Some viewers thought that there were only a few scattered fossils, but they did not expect that all the fossils in the pit were scattered.
The audience were all amateurs, and the fossils with so many bones could not be identified by the audience at all.
When Wang Xiaoshan showed the fossils to the audience just now, he had already looked at other places in the pit. He was sure that except for the area where the staff dug out fossils, there were no fossils elsewhere.
Wang Xiaoshan thinks that there should not only be so many animals in the pit, but also that the bone fossils in the pit are relatively small. Only this part should have been preserved, and the others have not been preserved.
"Let me tell you first, the limbs are falling apart like this, with many bones piled up together, and the limbs are incompletely preserved."
"Nine times out of ten, these are the remains washed away by floods."
Wang Xiaoshan did not first tell what animal the bones belonged to. He first told the audience about the circumstances that would have caused so many fossils to accumulate together.
[What Lao Wang said is true. When there is a flood, small animals run slowly and will be washed away by the flood, so there are many small bone fossils in the pit. 】
[When the flood came, the animals couldn’t stand still and staggered around, and eventually they all died together. This explanation is very reasonable. Why didn’t I think of it just now?]
[I didn’t expect that the current floods are very scary, and the floods in ancient times were also very scary. The scourges are really powerful.]
[The fossils in the pit should be more than one kind of animal. A big flood may take away many animals. Can Lao Wang still tell how many kinds of fossils there are in the pit? 】
[No wonder Lao Wang didn’t tell us what fossils were in the pit just now. It turns out there are a lot of fossils in the pit! 】
The audience had never thought of flooding before, but once Wang Xiaoshan said it, the audience felt that it was indeed possible.
When there is a flood, small animals that have no time to escape will be washed away. In this case, the limbs will fall apart and it will be difficult to see what kind of animal it is.
Even though the ancient dinosaurs were bigger than the last, besides these big dinosaurs there were also many small animals.
The big dinosaurs could run fast and avoid the floods, but the smaller animals could not and had to resign themselves to their fate.
"Most of these bone fossils are frog bone fossils."
"There are still some missing animals that are so missing that it's hard to tell what kind of animals they are."
These limb fossils have fallen apart and are still stacked together. It is difficult to see how many animal fossils there are in total.
Wang Xiaoshan looked at them for a long time and found that there were many fossils of frogs. In some cases, one could tell which one was the head and which one was the leg.
In addition to the fossils of frogs, there are also fossils of other animals, but the fossils of those animals are not large in number and are severely missing, so it is impossible to tell what animals they are.
[Frogs? Were there frogs in ancient times? How many years have frogs lived? Even the dinosaurs are dead, but frogs are still alive!]
[I have read a report that indeed there were frogs hundreds of millions of years ago, and the frogs at that time were larger than the frogs today.]
[Hey, dear, this is the first time I have seen a frog fossil. Can Lao Wang find a more complete one and tell me which part is the head and which part is the legs! 】
[These fossils are so scattered. If you don’t like the fossils that are not amazing, you can also look at the complete frog fossils. 】
[If Lao Wang hadn’t mentioned this, we wouldn’t have known that this was a frog fossil. Ancient things are so amazing that it’s hard to figure out. 】
Many viewers have never seen frog fossils, and some believe that frogs and dinosaurs are not from the same era.
In fact, these viewers are all wrong. Frogs were born hundreds of millions of years ago, but the ancient frogs were larger than today's frogs, and their appearance was somewhat different from today's frogs.
If there is a complete frog fossil in the pit, the audience will be able to tell that the ancient frog lay on the ground and had four legs. Just looking at the skeleton is similar to that of modern frogs.
"Many animals became extinct in ancient times, and many animals survived. It's just that they evolved and evolved into something else."
"Everyone, please pay attention next time you go to a museum to see fossils. Some museums have frog fossils."
When people go to museums to see fossils, they all like to see the oversized dinosaur fossils. Many people forget about inconspicuous fossils like frog fossils.
Each dinosaur fossil is bigger than the other, which makes people remember it deeply after seeing it. Fossils like frogs are not big, and many people forget whether they have any characteristics or not after seeing them.
After speaking, Wang Xiaoshan pointed the camera at the slightly more complete fossil and pointed out to the audience which part was the head and which part was the limbs.
Wang Xiaoshan pointed it out to the audience, and the audience realized that there was indeed a frog fossil under the pit. If he hadn't pointed it out to the audience, the audience wouldn't have been able to tell it was a frog at all.
[Lao Wang is so awesome. You can see such details. It’s really admirable. 】
[Amazing, I was dazzled by the sight of so many bones. Lao Wang was actually able to pick out the fossils of frog bones. It’s really amazing!]
[Lao Wang asked the staff to look around the pit to see if there are any fossils. Maybe they will find the remains of other animals nearby! 】
[Those with a strong sense of three-dimensionality can easily tell what kind of fossils these are, which are messy and stacked on top of each other. People with a weak sense of three-dimensionality can find it difficult to tell!]
[Lao Wang’s vision is really good. As long as it is a pit that Lao Wang identifies, the things unearthed in the pit are not simple. 】
Wang Xiaoshan pointed out a complete frog fossil to the audience, and then pointed out several incomplete frog fossils with bare heads. The bones of the body were difficult to distinguish, but the heads were easier to distinguish.
Wang Xiaoshan showed the audience a few more, and the audience also understood the trick. After watching one, they didn’t think it looked like it, but after watching a few more, they felt it was a little bit interesting.
Wang Xiaoshan only showed the audience the ones that were easy to recognize. He didn't let the audience see the deformed frog heads. The more they looked at the deformed heads, the more confused they became.
There were some fossils that could not be identified as what kind of animals they were. Wang Xiaoshan also pointed them out to the audience. There were many viewers in the live broadcast room who liked to guess fossils, so we just let them guess.
