Section 181 Chen's Incisors Ancient Behemoth
Because the desert sand absorbs heat quickly and dissipates heat quickly, the desert is very cold in the morning, which is a huge contrast to the blazing heat during the day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Chen Yan continued yesterday's work, digging up the fossilized bones of the giant beast.
From 7 o'clock in the morning to more than 11 o'clock in the morning, the fossilized skeleton of the giant beast was finally dug up completely.
Visually, the skeleton of the giant beast is about 22 meters long, about 5 meters high at the shoulder, and weighs about 40 tons to 50 tons.
Chen Yan named this giant beast the Chen Incisor Ancient Giant Beast.
The biggest feature of the giant beast is that it has teeth like ruminants such as cows and horses, and there are two particularly large front teeth in the middle of the teeth.
Therefore, Chen Yan named the giant beast as the Chen's Incisor Ancient Giant Beast based on the typical characteristics of the giant beast.
For a newly discovered species, it is very common to name it after the surname of the discoverer, e.g., Dun's fish, Goe's bird,......ć
In the paleontological world, the naming of a certain paleontology is generally crowned with a certain genus at the end, for example, trilobites, insects, beetlefish, fish, Archaeopteryx, birds,......, if it cannot be clearly belonged to a certain species genus, it will be crowned with a beast after the name, for example, stone-clawed beast, water dragonmon,......, Chen Yan named the giant beast Chen's incisor ancient giant beast in line with the naming rules of the paleontological community.
For example, the fossil of the right hind leg of the giant beast, numbered 1-right hind calf bone, 1 represents the first excavated fossil of Chen's incisor ancient behemoth, and the right hind calf bone is numbered as the name suggests,......, which is very convenient for the complete splicing of fossils in the future.
......
For the next month, Chen Yan spent the next month digging for fossils in the valley.
This valley is the burial ground of the ancient incisor beasts of the Chen family, just like elephants, when one of the ancient giants of the Chen family becomes very old, it will enter this hidden valley and wait for death, die quietly, and the body will decompose.
Over hundreds of millions of years, the organic matter in the bones is slowly lost, and the minerals settle down or become crystals, which gradually seep into the bones buried in the sediment with the flow of water, filling the space left by the decay of the organic matter of the teeth and bones.
When the minerals that penetrate into the bones can effectively replace the original organic matter of the teeth and bones before they decay and disintegrate, the teeth and bones are preserved as fossils.
Excavations have unearthed 307 complete skeleton fossils of Chen's incisor ancient monsters.
Like trilobite fossils, Chen Yan found 11 fossilized skeletons that were completely integrated with the rock, which is a stratigraphic unit between the Triassic and Jurassic periods, about 250 million to 100 million years ago.
Chen Yan's estimation is so broad that if you want to know more accurately how old the rock layers are, you can use modern technology to measure the isotopic age of rock samples.
This confirms that the ancient behemoths of Chen's incisors lived much older than the dinosaurs, which refreshed the understanding of human beings about ancient times, and many opinions in the paleontological community and the knowledge written into biology textbooks have been greatly discreted,......ć
These 11 fossils are even more rare and valuable.
Chen Yan cut the rock that wrapped the fossil in its entirety.
......
After confirming that nothing was missed, Chen Yan left the valley and returned to the Berber tribe.
Chen Yan left all the useless things on his body to the Berbers.
Among the things that Chen Yan gave to the Berbers, the most useful were gasoline barrels and mineral water bottles, which were used to carry water into a valley several kilometers away, transported by camels, and once laid back, the water could last the entire tribe for a week.
Chen Yan also sent a lot of common medicines to the Berbers.
......
Chen Yan left the Berber tribe.
There was one thing that made Chen Yan have to go back to New Chang'an.
After more than two years of expansion, the daily output of Australian Petroleum has reached 5.4 million barrels, surpassing Qatar Petroleum and second only to PetroChina, which has a pivotal position in the international oil field.
Due to various reasons, international oil prices have been running at low prices, fluctuating up and down at the price of $50 per barrel, which is only 1/3 away from the highest point of international oil prices of $147.25 per barrel.
Years of low oil prices have left many countries unbearable, and Venezuela, the world's top oil producer, is facing a collapse in its economy and a sharp depreciation of its currency.
Russia is also struggling to hold on.
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil producer, has seen its oil revenues plummet, with its deficit rate hitting record highs year on year, which has greatly weakened Saudi Arabia's ability to defend the rial's exchange rate, and if Saudi Arabia is unable to withstand the pressure of the dollar's continued rise, the rial will eventually decouple from the dollar and depreciate sharply following the ruble and the Brazilian real,......ć
The problem that international oil prices have continued to fluctuate at a low level has caused the world's major oil-producing countries to feel that they cannot continue like this, and they want to reduce production and raise international oil prices.
As the world's fifth-largest oil company, PetroAustralia plays a pivotal role in reducing production.
The interests of the Australian Petroleum Company implicate three countries, Australia, the United Kingdom and Chen Guo.
In this context, after the official visit to the United Kingdom, the Australian Prime Minister paid an unofficial visit to Chen Guo to discuss the issue of oil production reduction and exchanges and cooperation between the two countries in terms of business cooperation, tourism, import and export trade, etc.
Since the Australian Prime Minister's unofficial visit to Chen Guo mainly involves the Australian Petroleum Company, which is the property of the royal family, Chen Yan needs to personally negotiate with the Australian side.
......
Chen Yan received the visiting Australian Prime Minister at Anjiao International Airport, but because it was an unofficial visit, the welcome ceremony was not grand.
......
Chen Yan's negotiations with the Australian Prime Minister quickly entered the substance.
Britain and Australia have decided to ignore the United States, and there is no reason to sacrifice their own oil interests to achieve the geostrategy of the United States, and they are all in favor of cooperating with OPEC to cut oil production and raise international oil prices, planning to cut production by 400,000 to 500,000 barrels per day in less than two months, with an output reduction of 8 to 9 percent.
This necessitates asking Chen Yan, who holds two of the seven seats on the Australian Petroleum Corporation's decision-making committee.
