In the past, all the dinosaurs unearthed from barren mountains were visible dinosaurs, but now none of them are recognizable.
Some of them are beyond your imagination. The audience feels that watching Wang Xiaoshan's live broadcast is like upgrading. What they saw at the beginning were all simple ones.
The ones you see further back are the ones with higher difficulty coefficients.
The audience feels that if this continues, they will have to study it after class, otherwise they will not be able to understand the fossils in the barren mountains at all.
Just like today's dinosaur fossils, they look like snakes but are not snakes, and look like fish but are not fish.
The old viewers were all confused, and the new viewers today were even more confused.
Many viewers simply gave up, wondering what else to guess, and just waited for the answer. It would be faster this way because they couldn’t figure it out.
"Dear viewers, let me tell you that the fossil you are looking at this time is that of an eel."
[What is an eel? My dear, were there eels in ancient times? I thought this thing only existed in modern times!]
[You can’t tell it’s an eel at all. I didn’t expect that eels in ancient times looked similar to modern eels, but which side of this eel is the head and which side is the tail? 】
[Amazing, this is an ancient eel. It’s really not easy and rare that this thing can be preserved to this day!]
[This eel doesn’t look very thick. It doesn’t feel as big as modern eels. Maybe they don’t eat well!]
[I want to know the name of this eel now and see if I can buy it. If I can buy it, I’ll place an order for a plate.]
[This is the first time I have seen ancient eels, and I don’t know what ancient eels taste like or whether they taste good when grilled!]
The audience did not expect that the last word was eel, and they guessed it correctly.
Many viewers thought that eels were not handed down from ancient times because they had never seen eel fossils when watching dinosaurs in the Dinosaur Hall.
Not to mention eels, there are very few ordinary snake fossils, and the ones on display are all the fossils of large pythons.
Pythons have bones that can be preserved, but it is very difficult to preserve animals with few spines like eels.
From today's fossil viewers, we can see that the eel this time was preserved with its skin, and the probability of such preservation is very low.
Therefore, many museums and dinosaur halls do not have this kind of fossils, mainly because there are too few unearthed fossils, and it is impossible to see them in museums like other dinosaurs.
It is normal that the audience has not seen the fossils of this kind of dinosaur. Many dinosaurs are regional. If you don’t live in that region, it is difficult to see them.
The dinosaur fossils in the museum are generally local. Unless they are some imitations, as long as they are genuine, they are dug out locally.
It is impossible to transport the materials dug up by other provinces and cities to other provinces and cities. This would be too laborious for people and money, and is not worth it at all.
The audience felt that the ancient eels dug out this time were not as thick as modern eels. There are many modern eels that are big and thick.
But this time the ancient eel looks a little thin, not like an eel at all, but looks very much like a small snake.
This is why the audience thinks it is a snake and not an eel.
In the audience's mind, any ancient animal must be very big. This eel is a bit inconsistent with the situation at that time.
If this was a particularly large eel, the audience would think it was good. But now this eel is a bit small and short, and the audience feels it doesn't look like an ancient eel, but like a modern one.
Some foodie viewers are very concerned about whether there are any modern species of this ancient eel. If there is a modern species, the viewers would want to buy some and try it out.
Since the last time the audience ate tongue-shaped clams, whenever they see ancient animals, they are now used to asking Wang Xiaoshan if there are any living fossils and whether they can eat them.
Now the audience is addicted to eating. Ordinary food can no longer satisfy them, so the audience wants to eat something special.
I can’t eat dinosaur meat, so I want to eat some other living fossils.
"The name of this eel is lamprey. I wonder if any viewers know the name of this eel."
"This eel has a slender body with no scales, and its satisfying way of eating is a bit scary."
"Its mouth is in the shape of a round suction cup, with a circle of horny teeth in it. It can adsorb on the prey and then continue to suck the flesh and blood. It is like an underwater vampire."
This kind of lamprey is small and has no hard bones, so it is difficult to preserve lamprey fossils as fossils, which is why such fossils cannot be seen in many places.
[Lamprey I know that this kind of eel is very ugly, and I should say it’s a bit scary. It’s really amazing that this kind of eel existed in ancient times.]
[This kind of eel doesn’t look like a modern one. It looks a bit primitive no matter how you look at it. I didn’t expect it to be so ancient!]
[It’s really rare that eels can be preserved. Now that I know the name, I quickly went to place an order online to buy some to eat back. After I placed my order, there was nothing left for sale!]
[I originally wanted to buy some, but when I saw the appearance of the eel, I lost interest. It looks a bit scary and I can’t eat it!]
[Why are there all these scary animals in the barren mountains? Can you dig out some normal ones? This makes me feel uncomfortable.]
Some viewers have seen this kind of eel. This kind of eel is so distinctive that you can almost remember what it looks like after just one look.
This is why some viewers remember it immediately after seeing it. If it were other eels, the viewers might not be able to remember it.
However, most of the audience had never heard of this lamprey, nor had they seen a lamprey. When everyone checked it online, they were all shocked.
This kind of eel is really scary. Some viewers have seen similar animals in movies and TV series.
Lampreys are a bit scary in the first place, but when they are magnified in movies and TV shows, they become even scarier.
Some brave viewers have already placed orders online to buy lampreys. These viewers are afraid that the lampreys will be sold out like the last time.
Anyone who dares to eat lamprey is a warrior. You must first overcome its scary mouth.
Most viewers wanted to buy some and try it at first, but after checking it online, they didn’t want to eat it and couldn’t overcome the hurdle in their hearts.
Before eating anything, the audience likes to see what the animal looks like first. If it looks scary or a bit scary, no one will want to eat it.
The ones that are docile and cute look delicious, but many people don’t like the ugly ones.
People who like to eat sea fish often say that the uglier it is, the better it tastes.
This means that the uglier the fish looks, the more delicious it is, but not everyone can accept it.
Some viewers could still eat it if they didn't look at the animal's appearance, but they would lose interest after watching it.
That sucker mouth makes people shy away when they see it.
Many viewers were saying, why are the fossils excavated from the barren mountains during this period so scary? Can some normal ones be excavated?
What the audience said is normal is that the face is a little better, within everyone's aesthetic range, and not a scary fossil like a lamprey.
The audience was a little surprised when they heard it was a lamprey, and the staff on site were also a little surprised when they heard the name.
The staff have excavated many fossils, but this is the first time they have heard of eel fossils.
Especially since this kind of eel is so ugly, after the audience heard Wang Xiaoshan say the name, they all went to look at the photos they just took on their mobile phones.
Before Wang Xiaoshan spoke just now, the staff took a photo first. Everyone wanted to keep a long photo in advance. When he talks later, if there is anything unclear, everyone can look at the photo.
At this time, many staff went to look through the photos. They mainly looked at the two ends of the fossil to see if they could see the head of the eel.
This lamprey fossil is very well preserved. The total length of the fossil is about 60 centimeters, which is shorter than today's eels.
However, this is already the largest among fossil eels. If an eel can be preserved, 60 centimeters is already considered long.
There may have been longer eels in ancient times, but if they are not preserved, everything is in vain.
Only when it is preserved can scientists confirm that this species exists and how big it is. If it is not preserved, scientists can only speculate whether it exists and how long it is.
The staff looked at the photo carefully and found that the fat end of the photo looked like a head, and small eyes could be seen on it.
When the staff saw it just now, they thought it was the original thing on the stone. But now when they looked at it, they discovered that it was the eye of an eel.
After determining which side is the head, the staff now knows that the fat side is the head and the thin side is the tail.
Everyone has found that you need to be careful when studying dinosaur fossils. If you have a little information, you can see some clues. If you are not careful, many people will not be able to tell that they are eel fossils.
Mainly, the lampreys this time were on stone slabs, and some of the stones had some particles and unevenness.
After all, many viewers and staff did not recognize that it was an eel when they looked at it. Everyone thought it was the original appearance of the stone and did not pay attention to some small parts.
After Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing heard that the ones dug out this time were lampreys, they also checked the information online. After seeing the photos, they both trembled.
Whether the eel tasted good or not is another matter, but it didn’t look good anyway. Although it was ugly, it was a fossil and they had to write it down in the manuscript.
The two reporters were worried at the thought of writing it into the manuscript.
Cao Bingbing: "How do you write this thing? It's so ugly, and there is not much information on the Internet. It feels like it will take you a long time just to write this!"
Just now, Cao Bingbing went to check the information on the Internet. Very few lamprey fossils have been unearthed, and there is very little information available.
This kind of rare and unique fossil must be written about. The question is how to write about it. There is no way to write about it without data.
If we wait until Wang Xiaoshan finishes speaking before writing this, it will be too late.
After he finished speaking to the reporter, he still had to summarize it. If he went to write after summarizing, he would have already gone to see other fossils.
In this way, reporters will have to write more and more articles, and in the end they will not be able to finish them. This is also the biggest headache for reporters.
Li Miaomiao: "Let's start writing after Lao Wang finishes speaking. I really can't finish it. When I go back, let's ask him again. This fossil writing must be written."
Cao Bingbing nodded: "Well, what's going on here? Fossils like this come out every time. This is to drive people to collapse."
She was really annoyed. She originally thought that there wouldn't be much to write today, but she didn't expect that the more she wrote, the more she would write. She just finished writing about the fossil of the brain, and this came right after.
The problem is that there is little information on this fossil, so it cannot be written in advance. It must wait until Wang Xiaoshan finishes speaking.
In addition to this lamprey fossil, there are many more fossils in the house. By the time Wang Xiaoshan finishes talking about them, we still don’t know how many fossils there will be.
Although the content that needs to be written today is slightly less than yesterday, the task is still very heavy, which is why reporters are very upset.
Even though they were worried, they still had to write. The two reporters put their recorders next to their mobile phones and waited for Wang Xiaoshan to speak.
At this time, Wang Xiaoshan hadn't officially spoken yet. He just told the audience the name, and many of the audience had already started chatting.
[I just checked and the taste of this lamprey is not good. I heard it is very delicious. I will buy some to try. You must take two bites of such a delicious thing!]
[Is it really delicious or fake? It’s not just a marketing account to promote eel. Don’t fool us into buying eel!]
[It’s really delicious. I’ve eaten this kind of eel before. It tastes particularly good. It’s a high-end ingredient. Audiences who have the conditions can buy some!]
[Foreigners like to eat this thing very much. I heard that there was a king who liked to eat lamprey and ended up eating so much that he died of exhaustion! 】
[Really or not, is it so mysterious? Then I will buy some and try it. For foodies, the delicious food cannot be missed! 】
Wang Xiaoshan hasn't even started talking about fossils yet, but the foodies have already started feeding the audience lamprey eels.
Although lampreys are ugly, they are rare and delicious. They not only taste good, but also have high oil content and are very elastic. Many people like to eat them.
I really agree with that sentence, even though I am ugly, I am very delicious.
After a while, all the viewers in the live broadcast room went online to search for links to buy lampreys. Now everyone is more concerned about whether they can buy them.
Some viewers bought the lingual clam last time and tasted it, and thought it tasted good. Now in the minds of viewers, as long as it is related to living fossils, it tastes good.
Whether it is really delicious or fake depends on the person. Not everyone will feel delicious after eating it.
Just like durian, people who like to eat it think it's delicious, but people who don't like it feel sick when they smell it.
It's up to the audience whether they can get used to it. Wang Xiaoshan can't control it. It's not his responsibility this time. He won't be responsible if it doesn't taste good.
Since many viewers had gone to buy lampreys, he took the camera and let the viewers take a look at the eel's mouth while waiting for those who were going to buy things.
If he talks now, and a large number of viewers come over and ask him to talk again, it will be too frustrating.
When he showed the audience this time, they looked very carefully and everyone could see where the eyes were.
