The things that Fang Dalei took out of the box were about the size of a fist, and the whole showed a chanterelle yellow color, with jewel-like luster and crystalline, and the inside was like a fluid, with good light transmittance.

The whole thing looks like plastic in your hand, and there seems to be something inside of it.

"Is this amber?" Han Xiaojuan stared at what was in Fang Dalei's hand and asked.

"It's amber, to be precise, it's the worm of amber, but it's not a real worm, it can only be regarded as a variant of worm." Fang Dalei said.

Amber is the resin dripping of the pine and cypress plants 45 million to 65 million years ago, buried in the ground for tens of millions of years, and petrified under the action of pressure and heat, so it is also called "resin fossil" or "pine resin fossil".

Amber comes in a variety of shapes, often retaining the lines created by the flow of resin on the surface, and often with bubbles and ancient insect or plant debris visible inside.

Common amber species: golden amber, golden blue amber, green tea amber, black tea amber, blood amber, pam amber, flower amber, brown red amber, blue amber, green amber, insect amber, beeswax, pogen, Burmese root amber, etc.

Amber is a more precious mineral, and it is also collected in the Museum of Zoology and Flora and Fauna, even if the amber in Fang Dalei's hand is larger, the value is higher, but it may not work to exchange it for Ganoderma lucidum, after all, the museum is not a business.

Han Xiaojuan looked at the amber in Fang Dalei's hand, frowned, and asked, "Do you want to exchange this for our Lingzhi?" I admit that the amber in your hand is more valuable, if you simply talk about the selling price, the price may be higher than our Ganoderma lucidum, and much higher, the problem is that we are a museum, not an auction house, you can't just use the value to discuss our collection, otherwise which rich man will be happy. If you like our things, you can buy them with money, isn't that a mess? ”

Han Xiaojuan's performance seemed to be expected by Fang Dalei, and he said calmly to Han Xiaojuan: "It seems that you haven't realized the true scientific value of this amber in my hand!" ”

"Real scientific value?" Han Xiaojuan asked puzzledly, "Isn't this just a worm?" What's inside, an earthworm? ”

"Earthworms! I'll go! You can see whether it's good or not! "At this moment, Fang Dalei was completely defeated by Han Xiaojuan.

"I'll see." As she spoke, Han Xiaojuan took a closer look at the worm from Fang Dalei's hand, "The thing in here seems to be a snake, it's a little different from the current snake, it's strange." Why does this snake still have legs? Wait a minute! A snake with legs? ”

Thinking that this was a snake with long legs, Han Xiaojuan suddenly became calm.

In the scientific community, there have always been two theories about the origin of snakes, one is that snakes originated in the ocean, and finally evolved ashore to become the current reptiles.

There is also a theory that snakes themselves are land animals, and only later evolved into reptiles, and some of them also went to the ocean and lived in the water.

Both of these claims have their own supporters and debates. However, due to the lack of key evidence to support it, neither claim can be conclusive.

Now Fang Dalei suddenly took out a piece of worm amber, and there was a young snake with legs in it, which brought a new direction to the study of the origin and evolution of snakes.

As everyone knows. The reason why the insect is valuable is because it perfectly preserves the tens of millions of ancient organisms sealed in it, hundreds of millions of years ago, and this kind of ancient biology has high scientific research value.

Didn't the original idea for the shocking "Jurassic Park" come from a piece of worm containing mosquito corpses.

Fang Dalei looked at Han Xiaojuan, whose face had changed drastically, and said to her with a smile: "My piece of worm was formed about 130 million years ago, and the oldest known snake fossil reality on the earth. Snakes appeared 100 million years ago, I don't know if this 30 million years gap is worth it! ”

"Worth the money! It's so valuable! Wait a minute, I'll go and call Director Wang. Han Xiaojuan said as she stuffed the amber back into Fang Dalei's hand. While quickly taking out his mobile phone and calling Director Wang, he told Fang Dalei about the exchange of Lingzhi and the things he was going to exchange.

After hearing this, Director Wang said: "Be sure to keep people, I'll be there soon!" ”

In less than five minutes, an elderly man with gray hair, about sixty years old, and less than seventy years old, ran in at a speed disproportionate to his age, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Where is that piece of worm?" ”

Then, he saw Fang Dalei sitting on the sofa and the piece of worm on the table, he didn't care about saying hello, he rushed over directly and picked up the worm and observed it carefully.

Han Xiaojuan looked at the visitor embarrassedly and said to Fang Da Lei: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, this is our Pavilion Director Wang." Our Curator Wang is not only a botanist and botanist, but also a famous paleontologist, and our Zoological and Botanical Museum is not only a store of precious animals and plants in cash, but also a lot of paleontological fossils. ”

It can be seen that this Curator Wang is a scientific madman, he is very obsessed with scientific research, and the spirit of this kind of person is worthy of admiration, so Fang Dalei did not show any dissatisfaction.

He said to Han Xiaojuan: "I still have a lot of admiration for Director Wang, how can I be dissatisfied." The most important thing now is that Curator Wang can take a fancy to me and exchange it with me, and I don't care about the rest. ”

"Look! Lookable! As soon as Fang Dalei finished speaking, Curator Wang over there had already come back to his senses, he was holding Fang Dalei's amber in his hand, and Fang Dalei said: "Mr. Fang, the contemptible Wang Changyi, the director of the Kyoto Museum of Zoology and Zoology." If your worm is real, the contents will be of great significance to our study of the origin of snakes, for the sake of prudence, I think this worm needs to be further tested, do you think it is okay? ”

"That's right." Fang Dalei thought for a moment in a little embarrassment.

"What's wrong? Are there any difficulties? Don't worry, your stuff is tested by us, we will never embezzle it, and I will ask Xiaojuan to issue a document to confirm that your stuff was indeed tested by us. Curator Wang looked at Fang Dalei's contemplative appearance and said, he thought that Fang Dalei was afraid that they would requisition this worm amber, after all, there is also a lot of news in the society now, saying that the state forcibly expropriated items such as gloomy wood and dog's head gold found by the common people, so that now the common people are reluctant to report things when they find them.

Fang Dalei listened to his words, shook his hand and said, "Director Wang, you misunderstood what I meant, I'm not afraid that you won't return my things, but ......" (to be continued......)
