Not only did the audience want to know what kind of shellfish the fossil Wang Xiaoshan introduced to everyone this time was, but the staff also wanted to know.
The staff who originally dug up the fossil recognized that it was a shell, but they did not know what the shell was called.
There were a lot of shells in ancient times, and it would be difficult for people who didn't know the shells to tell what the shells were called.
When the shells were brought back to the camp, many staff at the camp saw what the shells looked like, but no one recognized them.
When Wang Xiaoshan said that there were such shells in real life, the staff were a little confused. How could they dig out such fossils after digging?
If it exists in real life, it would be said that some species of shellfish are edible "living fossils".
"Living fossils" refer to those that have existed for a very long time, and similar species only exist in fossils, and there are no other realistic similar species.
These species have survived past extinction events and retain their original characteristics.
Plant living fossils are all trees, the common ones are ginkgo trees, and animals include giant pandas and platypuses, which are all typical living fossils.
But no one has heard of living fossils of shellfish, especially living fossils that are edible. Living fossils are treasures. How can they be eaten? Everyone is confused.
"Many people should know this kind of shellfish, it's called lingual shell!"
[Lao Wang, I have never heard the name of this kind of shell. Are you sure this kind of shellfish is edible? Is it a protected animal? 】
[Friends who live by the sea, does anyone know what the tongue-shaped mussel is? Is this thing for sale? 】
[We call tongue-shaped shellfish sea bean sprouts. This kind of shellfish is indeed edible. There are many on the beach. If you like to eat, you can pick it up! 】
[There is such a thing on the beach. Why didn’t I see this kind of thing when I went to the beach? I’ll check it out online. 】
[I didn’t expect that this living fossil is actually a delicacy. I must buy this and try it to see if it tastes good. Does anyone know where I can buy it?]
After Wang Xiaoshan said the name, many viewers didn't know what kind of edible shellfish he was talking about.
Audiences who live by the sea know more about shells in the sea.
The only shellfish that viewers who live inland often eat is clams. Clams are the most commonly sold in markets and supermarkets, with very few other shellfish.
Better than inland viewers, they began to call viewers in coastal cities in the live broadcast room. They believed that so many viewers in the live broadcast room must live by the sea.
Sure enough, one of the audience members knew what the shellfish Wang Xiaoshan was talking about was called. Wang Xiaoshan mentioned the scientific name, while the audience mentioned the common name.
However, after the audience member mentioned the common name, they still didn’t know what it was. Many places did not sell sea bean sprouts.
Some viewers who had been to the sea said that they had never seen sea bean sprouts when they went to the sea. None of the shells they picked up when they went to the beach looked the same as the shells on the fossils.
There were too many spectators who had been to coastal cities to cross the sea, and for a while they all said that they had never seen this kind of shellfish.
The audience thought the name was quite interesting and went online to look up information. The audience wanted to see what the sea bean sprouts looked like.
The fossil looks a bit like a bean sprout, but it only looks like the head of the bean sprout, without the stem of the bean sprout.
If this sea bean sprout had been preserved even with its stem, it would have looked very much like an oversized bean sprout.
"Some viewers are right. The tongue-shaped scallops are commonly known as sea bean sprouts. It is normal that the viewers rushing to the sea did not dig them up."
"This kind of shell grows under the beach and needs to be dug out, and the sea bean sprouts will run away. If you dig too slowly, the sea bean sprouts will run away."
"Everyone usually rushes to the sea to collect more shells and clams. Clams cannot run away and their nests are not deep in the sand, so they are often discovered."
"The sea bean sprouts are hidden so deep that it would be difficult to find them if you are a tourist going out to sea!"
[Ah, it’s true that when I went to the sea, all I picked up were clams, and very few other shells. I didn’t realize that Lao Wang even understood the small animals in the sea!]
[Lao Wang is so awesome. Everyone knows that sea bean sprouts are hidden deep and can run fast. You can tell he is an expert at first glance. Lao Wang, tell the truth, do you live on the edge of a mountain or on the beach? 】
[I think I saw this thing once in the market, but I’m not sure if it’s a species. Anyway, it looks like bean sprouts!]
[Langular scallops are sea bean sprouts. This old man never said that they like to dig holes. They run very fast and cannot be found if they dig too slowly! 】
[The breathing holes of sea bean sprouts are different from the breathing holes of other shells. It is difficult to see without paying attention. It is not normal for experienced hands to dig out.]
The audience felt that Wang Xiaoshan knew a lot. He actually knew that sea bean sprouts were hidden deep, could dig holes, and could run fast. Many people didn't know these things.
Some viewers began to wonder whether Wang Xiaoshan's family lived on the edge of a mountain or on the seaside. How come he even knew the knowledge about traveling to the sea? It was really amazing.
As soon as Wang Xiaoshan finished speaking, some viewers who lived by the seaside told everyone that what he said was right and there was no problem. This is how sea bean sprouts grow.
Sea bean sprouts are sold in some coastal counties and cities, but who among the tourists go to the vegetable market? Everyone goes out to eat out.
When I go to a restaurant, I order big fish, prawns, and crabs, but no one orders sea bean sprouts.
When people see bean sprouts, they think of the bean sprouts they usually eat, so no one orders it. Moreover, many restaurants don't have this dish, so even if they want to eat it, they can't.
If you want to eat it, you can only go to the beach to dig it or go to some village markets near the seaside to buy it. It is sold in those places, but some large markets and supermarkets will not sell it.
Sea bean sprouts are not found on all beaches. Some beaches have more clams, some have more crabs, and different marine organisms live in different areas.
Although the lingual shell is said to be an ancient creature, the lingual shell is not as tall and tall as the legendary ancient creatures. Its appearance is what it looked like in ancient times and what it still looks like now. It looks very ordinary.
It can be said that ordinary sea bean sprouts can be found on everyone's dining table. People who live by the sea must have eaten them. You can dig this kind of sea bean sprouts when you go to the sea.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition to the shell on the body, the whole body of sea bean sprouts can be eaten, especially the part that looks like a root. It is very tender and delicious, suitable for the moment.
Food and drinks.
"If you are lucky enough to go to a coastal city, you can go to the morning market. There may be something for sale in the morning market."
"If you want to eat, you can also check online. Sea bean sprouts should be sold online. Audiences who want to eat can buy some and try them!"
"Such a small sea bean sprout can survive several mass extinctions. It can definitely be regarded as the ultimate living fossil after surviving for hundreds of millions of years."
"The shape and size of the sea bean sprout fossil we are looking at now has not changed significantly since its appearance!"
"Even though it is so small, it is still very powerful to have survived in ancient times until now."
[Haidouya is an incredible creature that has lived for hundreds of millions of years. What is this concept? How many animals have died to survive to this day!]
[Even though they are small, they have lived longer than anyone else. The dinosaurs were so powerful that they became extinct, and the pterosaurs were so awesome that they could fly. Even though they became extinct, the little sea bean sprouts survived!]
[It’s hard to believe that a small shell has survived so many extinctions. What a tenacious vitality it has!]
[After a while, I will go online to place an order to buy some sea bean sprouts to try and feel the taste of ancient times. If I can’t eat dinosaurs, it would be good to eat some sea bean sprouts. 】
[I don’t know if other shells besides sea bean sprouts have survived. There must have been a lot of small shellfish like this in ancient times.]
The audience all felt that this little animal was really capable, having endured the death of so many animals and finally survived.
Trees and animals like living fossils are relatively large, but sea bean sprouts are so small that no one thought that such marine creatures could survive.
Many viewers want to buy some sea bean sprouts and eat them. Many viewers cannot go to the beach and can only buy some sea bean sprouts online.
It is still sold online, but there are not many stores selling it, only a few selling it.
The main reason is that sea bean sprouts are too difficult to dig. Unlike other seafood, where you can catch a lot of seafood with a single net, this kind of sea bean sprouts can only be dug on the beach, and it is very laborious.
Not many people eat sea bean sprouts, and they have not yet been farmed on a large scale. If one day they are farmed on a large scale, they can be supplied to all parts of the country.
"Lingulatus belongs to the brachiopods. There are more than 30,000 species of brachiopods, but what if only a few species survive to this day!"
"The lingual shell is the largest species of brachiopods today, and it is also the most isolated one."
"Other marine organisms live on food such as fish or seaweed, while lingual clams eat small biological particles."
"They usually hide in the sand on the seabed and rarely go out."
"In the long river of history, lingual oysters have simply spent hundreds of millions of years like this. It seems simple, but in fact they are also evolving and working hard to survive."
[Sea bean sprouts eat neither meat nor vegetables. People have lived for such a long time, so it seems they can’t eat randomly!]
[The main reason is that they can hide well. Hiding on the bottom of the sea and not coming out can help them stay aloof from the world. In this way, they can also escape when a mass extinction occurs! 】
[Hiding is more reliable. The ocean is relatively deep. If a meteorite falls or a major earthquake occurs, the creatures in the sea can continue to live, but the creatures on land will be miserable!]
[Haidouya has never been the overlord of the ocean, but others have survived. Many animals have been the overlord of the ocean, but they all died in the end!]
[The mass extinction of organisms has a huge impact on living things. If there had been no mass extinction of organisms, there would be many different species of organisms surviving now!]
The tongue-shaped oysters do not have the ability to hunt prey. They live at the bottom of the ocean and do not have advantages in all aspects. This has also made them never on the stage of ocean dominance.
Shellfish like ammonoids once dominated the oceans, but the lingulae never did. They lived so low-key that no one even knew them.
In fact, the mass extinction of organisms has caused many creatures to never recover. The same goes for creatures like the lingual oyster. Although they have survived, they are no longer what they once were.
When Wang Xiaoshan told the audience, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing also listened carefully. This was the first time they had seen such a creature.
Li Miaomiao had never heard of sea bean sprouts. Cao Bingbing, like her, thought that sea bean sprouts were really bean sprouts when they heard the name.
After the two reporters heard the name, they quickly went online to check some relevant information. There was quite a lot of information about Haidouya online.
There are living organisms like the lingual mussel now, and scientists can use them to study them. Fossils are difficult to study, but living organisms can be studied.
With enough samples, there will be many research results, which is why there is so much information on the Internet.
When the two reporters saw so much information on the Internet, they hurried back to write the article. They wanted to finish it early and finish it early. They didn't want to get off work late.
Many staff at the camp also looked up information online, but they didn't expect that this little lingual shell was actually still alive.
Some staff members wanted to see the fossils in the house, but they couldn't get in. Now the room where the fossils are stored no longer allows staff members to come in.
There are many fossils in the room where the fossils are placed. Too many workers entering the room can easily cause damage to the fossils.
In order to preserve the fossils, Captain Shi only allowed Wang Xiaoshan and two reporters to go in. The reporters could only take photos but could not take away the fossils.
The reporter was able to enter all because of Wang Xiaoshan. If Wang Xiaoshan was not around, Captain Shi would not let the staff go to the room where the fossils are kept.
There are so many valuable fossils in the house, it would be terrible if one were to be broken without anyone accompanying them.
The staff members all regretted that they did not take a closer look at the fossils when they were dug out. Now that the fossils are in the room, they can no longer look at them.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaoshan is still in the room, and the staff can look at the fossils they just dug through his lens.
Although more and more staff are returning from the mountains, many people turn on the live broadcast to watch Wang Xiaoshan's live broadcast as soon as they come back.
There are too many beautiful fossils excavated from the barren mountains today, especially the tongue-shaped shell that Wang Xiaoshan is explaining to everyone. Many people have never even heard of its name.
Not only the staff were curious, but even the staff responsible for transportation were listening to Wang Xiaoshan's explanation at the door. The fossils this time were too rare.
It was also the first time that the staff responsible for transportation had heard of this creature.
Many people are the same. When Wang Xiaoshan said the name, many people's first reaction was to check the information on the Internet to see what the lingual shell is.
The staff in charge of transportation had forgotten that they were here to transport fossils, and everyone was listening very attentively, if Captain Shi hadn't reminded them.
The staff responsible for transporting fossils don’t know what time they will be able to transport the fossils to the car.
Wang Xiaoshan's lectures are so good that every time he gives a lecture, many people want to listen.
Now the number of people in the live broadcast room is rising sharply. Many viewers come to listen to Wang Xiaoshan's explanation of the lingual shell. There are also many viewers who come to see what the lingual shell looks like.
There were so many viewers in the live broadcast room and people surrounding the door of the fossil house.
