624. Mangrove forests are also new (4/5)

The news of the discovery of dinosaur fossils in Shenbao Lake quickly spread throughout the town, and even the expert group that studied leatherback turtles and rainbow lobsters in the fishing grounds was alarmed, Balzac blinked after getting the news and asked, "What, they found dinosaur fossils here?" ”

Douff called Hamlet, and it took several calls in a row for someone to connect, and then there was a quick reply like a storm, and he hung up the phone in a daze, and everyone looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know very well, Mr. Mayor is an impatient, he says too much and too quickly," said Duff. However, it seems that there are indeed dinosaur fossils, or fossils of Canglong, and there are fossils of golden kitchen sharks, and it seems that seventy or eighty million years ago, the ocean here once staged an underwater battle. ”

The largest apex predator in the Mesozoic oceans, the dragon was a rare land-to-sea creature, and most life evolved from the ocean to the land.

And the rare ones are tough, and the evolutionary history of the cangosaurus proves this truth, this dinosaur evolved from the cliff lizard on land, only appeared in the middle and late Cretaceous period, and then went all the way to become the top predator in the ocean of that era!

This ancient shark, also known as the chalk hinged shark, is the apex marine predator known as the "throat of the Cretaceous", the size of the great white shark, which can swim with both undulating bodies and fin-like feet, daring to attack small dragons.

These two monsters have largely ruled the seas of their time, and despite their relatively late appearance, they rely on their fierce temperament and strong abilities. Together, they wiped out the much-older marine reptiles......

Receiving confirmation from Duff, Balzac went to Shenbao Lake with a clearer observation device for the seabed.

Qin Shiou gathered in the crowd to watch the excitement. Soon he meets Winnie, and the two hug each other. Winnie said helplessly: "Oh my God, the tourists are going crazy, they say they want to witness the historical moment of the discovery of dinosaur fossils." But this is not the first time that the dragon has been discovered, what can be witnessed? ”

"They're just trying to join in the fun." Qin Shiou said with a smile.

Too many people were drawn to the lake by the news, and the town police station had to be dispatched, and Roberts took all the police to maintain order, and someone in front was squeezed into the lake.

In fact, there is nothing to be seen at all, because underwater observation equipment is now needed to see those fossils underwater, and tourists and most residents do not have access to underwater observation equipment. I can only wait there with my eyes in my eyes, or talk nonsense.

Qin Shiou had seen those fossils a long time ago, and after completing his mission to bring them to the light of day, he planned to return to the fishing grounds.

Winnie's work is no longer needed, and the tourists are waiting to take turns using the underwater observation equipment to see the fossils, and today's event is expected to be canceled.

Qin Shiou wanted to take Winnie away, but Winnie said that she still had a duty, but in fact she didn't want to leave so early, and she also wanted to see the dinosaur fossils at the bottom of the lake.

Fossils are nothing. There are many museums, but if you can find them, no one wants to miss the opportunity.

Qin Shiou went to find Mao Weilong again, but the latter was reluctant to leave with Duoduo in his arms. Duoduo also stretched out his hand to show him the appearance of a dinosaur, and drew a big pattern on his chest with his little hand, and the little bun made a grimace on his face. Describe the ferocity of dinosaurs.

In this way, Qin Shiou couldn't leave, so he had to sit in the F650 and play with his mobile phone.

Later, he sat in the car and couldn't live in peace. There are tourists who want to take pictures with this big Ford, and the F650 has not yet entered the country. For truck enthusiasts, seeing this car here is even more meaningful than seeing the scenery of Farewell Island.

After all, Hamlet worked at the National Fossil Museum of Canada, and he used the more specialized instruments that Balzac brought with him, and he used various stretch lenses to see the fossils exposed in the water.

Relying only on a few exposed fossil parts, he determined the identity of the fossils, explaining: "There was a killing here, and several golden kitchen sharks were besieging a small dragon, and a sword shot fish not far away. There's also a strange fish fossil next to the swordfish, which I've never seen before! ”

The news made Balzac excited, could it be that the opportunity to discover and name new species that he had missed in the fishing grounds had come again? You have to seize this opportunity!

Qin Shiou didn't want to waste time here, so he stepped on the water skis and continued to play in the water, he approached the island in the lake in the distance, the lake rose in spring, the island was almost submerged, but the mangrove forest on it still grew luxuriantly, forming a rare scene of lake woods.

Because of the humid environment, even if the trees are alive, there are a lot of mushrooms such as mountain shiitake mushrooms growing on them, and Qin Shiou even found a piece of precious porcini mushrooms.

Boletus is commonly found in the humid woods of East Asia, and is relatively rare in North America, but there are also boletus, such as the porcini found in Qin Shiou.

After discovering this delicious mushroom, he went back and rowed a kayak to pick it up, but the kayak was not good for navigating through the water and woods, and not only could it not pass in some places, but it might also run aground.

If you want to let Qin Shiou go down to pick, it is even more impossible, the underwater island is too dirty, and I don't know how many small water insects are hidden.

This made Qin Shiou very anxious, and found that there was nothing else, there are porcini mushrooms here, and it was the first time he had seen it in Canada, not to mention this kind of fresh goods before, even dry goods could not be seen, and he didn't know where this mangrove forest got the mycelium.

After thinking about it, Qin Shiou's eyes lit up, and he drove back to bring Dabai, a North American opossum who is a good climber of trees and forests.

Qin Shiou demonstrated to Dabai that he picked the mountain shiitake mushroom from a tree trunk on the outer edge of the mangrove forest.

In this way, Da Bai understood, Qin Shiou hung a small cloth bag around his neck, and Da Bai flexibly ran to a tree on the periphery, used his mouth and claws together, and quickly picked off the mountain mushrooms on it.

Dabai searched carefully in the woods, and came back again and again to send the mountain shiitake mushrooms to the kayak, and soon picked a large number of them.

Qin Shiou felt that it was almost enough, so he pointed to the precious porcini mushroom and showed it and asked it to take it off.

Da Bai looked at it with big eyes, climbed up and picked them off one by one, but Qin Shiou was very happy.

"I really didn't give you so many good things for nothing," Qin Shiou said dotingly stroking Da Bai's head, "Go back and give you a reward, do you want to eat strawberries or grapes or apples, pears and peaches?" ”

After harvesting these delicious mushrooms, Qin Shiou no longer waited for Mao Weilong and his party, and took the lead in driving back, he wanted to pickle pickled pepper shiitake mushrooms and oil-soaked porcini mushrooms, which were two good breakfast appetizers. (To be continued......)
