Chapter 734 This Is A Bird Fossil
Chapter 734 This is a Fossil Bird
"Next, it's time to witness the miracle!"

Wang Yu smiled mysteriously, and then slowly turned the blood amber on the palm with the other hand. Gradually, the perspective began to change, and the arrangement of the black substances inside the blood amber did not look as chaotic as before.

"Look at everyone, don't blink!"

Wang Yu slowly stopped turning the blood amber on his palm, and a fossil with a clearly visible outline appeared in the picture. It can be clearly seen in the picture that it is a bird with two wings.

"See? This is a bird fossil! This is its head, and the slender beak. Below it are the wings, the body, and even the claws are very obvious."

Wang Yu excitedly introduced to everyone.

"You can see that its size is very small, almost the same as the hummingbirds we see in real life. Because of the age, its once bright feathers have lost their color in front of time, leaving only traces of flesh and bones!"

Wang Yu said with some regret that even the sealing of amber could not resist the passage of time, which also proved from the side that this blood amber has a long history.

"I boldly speculate here that the history of this ancient bird fossil is probably more than tens of millions of years ago! Even longer!"

Wang Yu said with firm eyes, because before that, Chinese and American paleontologists had released a piece of heavy news. They claimed that the Sino-US joint team had discovered a long distance from a lake in the Hugang Valley of Myanmar. Cretaceous amber from the present day about 1 million years ago.

Not only because there are precedents, amber, as the resin produced by coniferous plants from the Mesozoic Cretaceous to the Cenozoic Tertiary, can only be formed after a series of complicated geological processes, so it is not difficult to judge that this amber fossil is indeed historical. long.

Previously, in the golden amber with a long history discovered in Taiguo, a bird from ancient times was surprisingly discovered. The size of the ancient bird was similar to the size of the ancient bird in the blood amber that Wang Yu is holding now. .

However, due to the accidental loss of some skin and flesh during the excavation process, the preservation integrity of the ancient bird amber fossil is far inferior to the blood amber that Wang Yu is holding now.

After the amber fossil was restored through advanced science and technology, its outline could be vaguely seen. Because the amber fossil was golden yellow and looked very thin, like a fried egg, it was jokingly called the ancient "pancake" by the fishing boats at that time. bird".

You know, the amber bird fossil at that time was known as the most complete bird among the amber fossils known to mankind in the world, and the amber in Wang Yu's hand was much more clearly visible than the pancake bird fossil. Obviously Wang Yu The intact ancient bird fossil with blood amber in his hand is even more valuable.

"You see, the wings of this bird are showing a tendency to open. This shows that when she encountered the rosin dripping, she tried to break free from the sticky resin, but another drop of rosin fell, and she lost weight. After it was powerless to resist, it was sealed in amber.

The solidified resin was buried underground after a series of complicated geological movements, and under various coincidences, a piece of natural amber was formed, until tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of years later, I accidentally discovered it. To see the light of day again!"

When Wang Yu said this, his voice couldn't help but rise a few decibels. To a certain extent, the value of the blood amber fossil in his hand is immeasurable, and a ruby ​​of the same size can be used for money even if it is expensive. To measure it, Wang Yu would rather get such an ancient bird fossil full of research value than accidentally obtain the former.

"It's so rare..."

Wang Yu stroked the crystal blood amber fossil in his hand. It is not easy to preserve an amber that is tens of millions or even billions of years old. What is even more rare and valuable is that the blood amber fossil does not contain insects. Rather, they are ancient birds that are very small in size.

According to the scientists who discovered the "Pancake Bird" at the time, it was speculated that the reason why it could be preserved to a large extent was because the "Pancake Bird" had died before being sealed in amber, and the body happened to be under a pine tree in the Cretaceous period, and then Coated in the resin that drips from the pine trees.

The ancient bird fluttering about to fly in Wang Yu's hand was obviously wrapped in pine resin while it was still alive. Then, under the influence of geology, it experienced countless years of baptism and slowly formed its current appearance.

With a fluke mentality, Wang Yu bent down and carefully searched the nearby tidal flats. Unfortunately, after a lot of hard work, he didn't find any good things. Instead, he picked up a few smooth-looking and high-quality geese. soft rock.

Wang Yu quickly turned a few soft pebbles in his hand with his fingers, and said in a slightly disappointed tone: "Although I didn't find any more blood amber, it's not bad to pick up a few soft pebbles and use them as fitness balls."

Looking down at the time, the watch showed that it was already 23:[-], and he casually put the cobblestone in his trouser pocket, "It's almost time, we should go find a place to stay tonight."

The tidal flats near the underground river are relatively low. In order to find a suitable place to live, Wang Yu climbed up to the commanding heights of the cave along the "terraced fields", and then scanned the vicinity with lights.

Suddenly, not far away, an independent limestone attracted his attention. The gray-white rock is so large that it can even be climbed up as a resting place, which can effectively prevent some animals from sneaking attacks, and the location is also very good.

Wang Yu led the emperor forward, and when he was about to climb up the rock, a gentle breeze blew, bringing a pungent smell.

Wang Yu frowned slightly: "Forget it, this place is downwind. When the wind blows, the smell will be blown over, so it's not suitable for rest."

The strong smell of hydrogen sulfide and sulfur pervades the vicinity, and if inhaled for a long time, it will cause adverse effects to some extent. In order not to affect the body, Wang Yu had no choice but to find another place to spend the night.

Fortunately, there are many passages in the natural cave. Wang Yu returned to the slope of the "terraced fields" and found a suitable resting place near the entrance of a cave, an hourglass-shaped limestone column.

Wang Yu climbed up the rock ledge and jumped lightly to reach the platform. The round platform with a diameter of two meters is like a natural big round bed, which is enough for Wang Yu and the emperor.

Wang Yu twitched his nose and said: "There is no pungent smell. The location here is probably the best in the cave, because it is at the entrance of a cave passage. As an air outlet, my current location is among the top in the natural cave. The wind direction, that is to say, the wind coming out of the passage blows from my side to the opposite side, so that the pungent smell will not interfere with my rest."
