The audience heard what Wang Xiaoshan said just now, and they were a little happy. After watching the fossils he dug up, they could go directly to other pits to look at them.
Wang Xiaoshan dug too many fossil bones this time, and it was too laborious to dig. When he finally dug back, he still dug out bones that were similar to vertebrae.
While digging, he also dug out a piece of leg bone, but he did not dig out the leg bone completely.
He had to dig out the bones connecting the spine first, and then dig out other places.
Wang Xiaoshan dug for a while and dug out all the bones connecting the spine.
After digging, he took a camera and let the audience take a closer look at the fossils under the pit.
"Dear viewers, this is part of the fossil I just dug up. Let's take a look first!"
[Where is this bone? Is it a tail? Is this the ancestor of ducks? Why does it still have a tail? It’s so amazing.]
[This should be a tail. The bones are thicker near the vertebrae and thinner farther away. It is definitely a tail! 】
[Lao Wang, did all ancient dinosaurs have tails? All the fossils I saw in the barren mountains had tails, and some didn’t! 】
[Yes, the bird-like animal last time also had a tail. What is going on? I just discovered that dinosaurs seem to have tails! 】
[I feel a little strange when I think about it. An animal that looks like a duck has a long tail. Oh dear, it’s really weird.]
When the audience saw the fossil that Wang Xiaoshan showed to everyone, they were a little surprised. This dinosaur actually had a long tail.
Many viewers previously thought that this dinosaur should be the ancestor of some kind of flat-mouthed animal, so they thought it should be the same as today's animals.
But what I didn't expect was that this fossil actually had a tail, and it was very long.
In reality, there are animals with tails, but many people have never heard of or seen animals with flat mouths and long tails.
Ducks have no tails, ostriches have no tails, and geese have no tails. None of these common flat-billed animals have tails.
However, many viewers also noticed that in ancient times, most dinosaurs had tails, and very few had no tails.
The dinosaur fossil excavated by Wang Xiaoshan yesterday was small and had a tail. It is hard to say whether all dinosaurs had tails.
Not many, most of them have tails, especially animals on land. Almost all fish in the sea have tails, only shellfish have them.
However, the audience still found it strange. It has a beak like a duck, but a long tail. No matter how you think about it, it feels strange.
Some viewers drew a rough outline of a dinosaur on paper, but after drawing it, the audience thought it was quite funny.
Originally having a flat mouth and a long neck, coupled with a long tail, this animal feels a bit like a velociraptor.
However, the teeth in Pian's mouth are not as sharp as those of Velociraptor, but this kind of animal is quite scary to the audience when they think about it.
The long tail is enough to show that it runs very fast. Some viewers are a little curious whether this animal preys on land animals or sea animals.
"What you see this time is the tail of this dinosaur. The tail of this dinosaur is very long."
"In ancient times, there were still many dinosaurs with tails. It was not unusual to have a tail."
"During the process of net evolution, they found that their tails were a bit unsuitable, and they gradually disappeared. There are many such animals in reality!"
"We still have to look at its paws to determine whether it hunts in the water or on land. We can't tell yet!"
[After a while, Lao Wang will dig out a webbed one. This body is built for fishing, not for catching other animals!]
[It’s hard to say, but this dinosaur’s body proportions are very good. Maybe it’s a dinosaur on land. Their mouths are also suitable for eating insects!]
[Perhaps like a goose, it can walk on land, swim in water, eat grass on land, and eat fish in water.]
[With the size of this dinosaur, it can only eat some small fish and shrimps, but it can't eat any larger ones. It feels like living on land is more complete!]
[Perhaps the hair on this dinosaur’s tail will soon be very suitable for swimming in water, but it’s a pity that the flesh is not visible in the fossil. 】
Now the audience wants to see the dinosaur's feet again. As long as they see the feet, they can tell whether the dinosaur flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water.
The feet of different animals are different, and the horns can be used to determine where the animal lives.
Ducks and geese have webbed feet, so they are suitable for living in the water, while the fat paws of ostriches are better suited for running on land.
However, some viewers are still worried that the dinosaurs this time are too small.
Now Wang Xiaoshan has dug out the head and tail, which together are less than one meter. Such a small animal goes to the sea to fish.
The audience felt that many fish were bigger than this dinosaur. If they went fishing in the sea, it would be hard to say who would eat whom.
Of course, the audience thinks that if you can't eat big fish, you can eat some small fish and shrimps. These are still edible, but you can't eat some plankton.
Of course, there are also things to eat on land, including insects and grass. There are many plants on land, but if you can't, you can eat grass.
For a while, everything was said in the live broadcast room, but many viewers still didn't believe that this dinosaur went to the water to hunt for food. It seemed inconvenient to swim with a tail.
Of course, there are also viewers who object. Crocodiles have a tail, and they rely on their tails to swim in the water. Having a tail is more convenient for swimming.
There are also some viewers who want to see the meat of the dinosaurs. This time the dinosaurs were dug out with only bones and no meat, so the viewers who wanted to see them couldn't see it.
The audience can now only see a bare tail, and it is unclear whether it had flesh or scales on it.
The only bad thing about fossils is that you can't see their original appearance. Many of the original appearances are speculated by experts. Experts are not sure what they look like specifically.
"Don't worry, everyone. I will dig out the limbs of this dinosaur for everyone to see. When the limbs come out, everyone will know."
After saying this, Wang Xiaoshan took the shovel and started digging. He dug for a while and let the audience watch for a while.
At this time, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing had already run outside the pit.
Cao Bingbing: "Do you want us to go back and write the manuscript now?"
Li Miaomiao said hesitantly: "How about we go back? We have dug out so much, we can write more or less."
The two reporters are also fighting now. Now that a large part of the fossil has been excavated, the two of them can actually write about it.
But now they don’t know the names of the dinosaurs. They can write them down when they go back, but there won’t be much content.
Both of them were a little confused whether to go back and write or not.
The dinosaur fossils this time are not very big, so they can wait a little longer, but now the two of them are a little undecided.
Cao Bingbing: "Okay, let's go back first, write a little bit, and dig them all out in a while. Let's go back to the mountains."
Li Miaomiao nodded: "Well, the dinosaur fossils this time are not big. They may be moved back to the camp in a while. We can see more in the camp."
Cao Bingbing: "Well, let's go."
What Wang Xiaoshan excavated this time is not very big. Small fossils are usually moved back to the camp and will not be placed in the mountains, unless the stone slab with the fossils is too big.
After finishing speaking, Li Miaomiao told Wang Xiaoshan and left, "Go back and write first. If you can write a little, it's better."
The fossils have been dug out like this. They can go back and briefly describe the situation in the pit and the fossils. After a while, the fossils are completely dug out, and then they can add content to them.
The reporters went back to write articles, but many staff members of the barren mountain wanted to go down to the pit to see what the fossils looked like.
Watching the live broadcast is good, but it's still a little inferior to watching it in person, so the staff still wants to see it in person.
But after the sign was put up, the staff had no way to go down and had to watch the live broadcast first.
After a while, when all the fossils are dug out, the staff will have to go down into the pit and move the fossils out. Then the staff can see it with their own eyes.
Captain Shi saw two reporters returning from the camp, so he walked over and asked, "How is Lao Wang's digging?"
Li Miaomiao: "The progress is very good. We should be able to dig out all the fossils in a while."
Captain Shi: "Okay, I'll go to the mountains to see if I need any help."
After speaking, Captain Shi went to the mountains to see the specific situation. If the fossils were to be excavated soon, he would organize personnel to clean up the soil on the fossils.
In addition to cleaning up the soil, we also need to see if the fossils can be moved out. If not, the pit will need to be expanded.
Captain Shi still has a lot to do, and the person responsible for transporting the fossils has arrived.
He just went to work on the big stone with dinosaur footprints. The stone was too big and had to be transported away quickly.
It is too dangerous to put it in the mountains. If it accidentally rolls down the mountain, it will cause damage to people and houses.
As long as the fossils are still in the pit, Captain Shi is not worried, he is afraid of the fossils from outside.
Although the slope of the barren mountain is not very steep, it would be terrible if it rolled down.
When Captain Shi came to the pit, Wang Xiaoshan was busy in the pit.
He did not disturb Wang Xiaoshan, but first took a look at the situation in the pit.
When Wang Xiaoshan was digging, he was cleaning the soil in the pit. A lot of the soil was removed after cleaning.
Captain Shi can get a rough look while standing in the pit. He can first look at the rough look to determine whether a machine is needed to come up.
After Captain Shi read it, he found that the fossil Wang Xiaoshan was digging was not very big, and the stone slab underneath was not big either, so there should be no need for large machinery to come up.
He was already scared now. It would be too troublesome if another stone as big as a dinosaur footprint appeared.
Once dinosaur fossils become large, they are difficult to dig out of the mountains and difficult to transport.
Captain Shi looked in the pit for a while and then went out. Now Wang Xiaoshan does not need help for the time being. He will come back to take a look later.
Wang Xiaoshan first cleaned the part near the spine. Inside the spine are the ribs. The ribs are arranged one by one. It is very troublesome to clean.
Wang Xiaoshan cleaned up a few and took them out, then took the camera and let the audience take a look.
"What is being cleaned now is the dinosaur's ribs. The ribs are more difficult to clean. Please wait a moment."
[Looking at the place Lao Wang cleaned up, I think this dinosaur may have no forelimbs, only hind limbs, and it is a two-legged animal!]
[It’s hard to say, maybe it has two small arms. Tyrannosaurus rex has a big body with two small arms!]
[It doesn’t matter whether it has arms or not. I want to know whether this dinosaur had feathers. If it had feathers, it would definitely be the ancestor of ducks or geese. 】
[It’s a shame, how can feathers be preserved so easily? It’s been digging in the barren hills for so long, and the preserved feathers were dug out by Lao Wang just yesterday!]
[Don’t rush, don’t rush, after a while Lao Wang dug it out, let’s ask Lao Wang what the name of this dinosaur is, as long as we know the name and find the restoration picture! 】
The audience was talking to each other and started to discuss whether this dinosaur had two claws or four claws.
Judging from the current appearance of the dinosaur, this dinosaur should have two claws, and there is no room for the claws on the limbs.
Wang Xiaoshan hasn't finished cleaning it yet. After cleaning it, the audience should be able to see whether this dinosaur has two claws or four claws.
If it were an animal like a duck, it would also have a wing-like part.
Now the audience has to wait until Wang Xiaoshan digs out the wings or soles. Once they see this, they can tell what they look like.
The appearance of dinosaurs can no longer meet the needs of the audience. There are also audiences who want to see the feathers of dinosaurs.
Feathers are difficult to store, just like footprint fossils. Such rare fossils cannot be dug out just by looking at them.
Judging from Wang Xiaoshan's current awakening process, he should not be able to dig out feathers from the dinosaur this time. He dug out all the bones for a long time, but he didn't even see a single feather.
Feathers are difficult to preserve, and nothing is normal. It would be impossible to excavate feather fossils frequently.
"Don't worry, everyone, we will dig into the legs in a while. If it looks like a duck, it will have wings. We will see if it has wings in a while!"
However, judging from the excavated fossils, this dinosaur looks more and more like an ostrich.
[Lao Wang, hurry up and dig. I can’t wait to see what this dinosaur looks like. It should have wings. I hope it’s preserved!]
[If there are wings, the fossils of the wing bones can definitely be preserved. If not, it’s hard to say. I hope they can be preserved!]
[Old Wang, do you want to dig out the bones in the wings first, or dig out the fossilized bones in the soles of the feet first?]
[Obviously, Lao Wang needs to dig out both sides at the same speed. One side is so slow at a time. If you dig two at the same time, it will look great together.】
[Lao Wang, hurry up and dig. I really want to see what this dinosaur looks like. I feel that this dinosaur is not very tall when standing up. 】
The audience has already begun to discuss where to dig first and where to dig. The bones unearthed in different places are different.
While the audience was chatting with the audience, Wang Xiaoshan continued to dig for him, and he still followed his steps to dig out fossils step by step.
