In September 2015, organized by the Institute of Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and fully sponsored by a mysterious rich foundation, the scientific expedition and excavation of the Zhucheng area of Shandong Province began again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 As a famous dinosaur burial site in the Late Cretaceous period, a large number of dinosaurs have been unearthed in this area - the largest duck-billed dinosaur and the only ceratosaurus outside of North America, as well as a close relative of the tyrannosaurus. This time, the target was a previously unexplored hill that had already been explored.

The excavations went quite smoothly, and scientists were delighted to find many fossil specimens, and even the simplest judgment showed that they had discovered at least several new species. The mysterious rich man also appeared, a chubby man in his forties, dressed in overalls, lying on the ground like a child listening to the instructions of the young graduate students, using a small shovel and a small brush to excavate and clean up the fossils. This guy who was sweating profusely looked extremely serious, this fat man named Huang Wenxi liked paleontology since he was a child, and when he was a child of seven or eight years old, he was obsessed with all kinds of fossils...... Although I once wanted to be a paleontologist, but my studies were average, and it was not easy to go all the way to a university with a paleontology department in the eighties and nineties, and my family was the working class, so I couldn't afford to let my child study this kind of "unprofitable" major...... The little fat man Huang Wenxi was very sad, but when this kid grew up, he made a fortune by buying stocks and speculating in land, and after having a wife and children to live a worry-free life, this guy picked up the biggest dream of his childhood - he founded a foundation, which is specifically to fund the field work of paleontology. As a real estate developer, Huang Wenxi is also rich, and his family's property is still more than 100 million, and this fat man took out 500 million yuan as the principal of the foundation in one go, and also won the qualification for himself to join the scientific expedition team to dig fossils in the wild. Scientists did not discriminate against this fat man, and not just because of money - a man who wants to achieve his childhood dream cannot be ridiculed...... What's more, this middle-aged fat man is not stupid, and he has made a name for himself by taking this as the only hobby on the right path for so many years. "Although it may be regarded as a sycophant, Huang Wenxi, if you are a graduate student, it is enough. It's not for your money's sake. The people at the Institute of Paleontology said the same thing to the fat man. Of course, the fat man was very happy, and it was about the same as when he earned his first million.

The fat man loves excavation work, and this time the tens of millions of funds are all from this fat man, so except for those graduate students who don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick and often instructs the fat man to do this and that, those professors and researchers let the fat man move freely - Huang Wenxi has participated in several such excavation activities, and he can be regarded as experienced, and he can do his favorite fossil digging work, and those children instructed this guy not to pay attention to it at all. Right now, Huang Wenxi is taking a telescope to take a closer look at a fault here in the hill. "This is a tooth?" The fat man poked a graduate student walking by, and the other party took his telescope, "No, I think it's a relatively sharp stone." And if you look at that stratum -- it's not the strata of the late Cretaceous anymore, it's probably from the Paleogene era. ”

But the fat man looked sideways and vertically, so he found a thick rope and tied it to a big tree on the hill, and then put himself down on a winch. An old man saw the fat man from a distance below, took an electric horn and shouted, "Mr. Huang! Mr. Huang! Dangerous! Don't do that! Huang Wenxi just didn't hear it, he used a downhill hook to put himself at a suitable height - at this time, the fat man was about twenty meters away from the top of the mountain, about fifty meters from the foot of the mountain, and the fat man also had a fear of heights on weekdays, but now this guy seemed to have forgotten, and put himself at this height with all his might.

Of course, everyone quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, and several students were ready to pull Huang Wenxi up, but the fat man below shouted loudly, "Don't! Don't move! I found something out of the ordinary! Then the fat man twisted his fingers from side to side, and when he opened his palm upwards, everyone on the top of the mountain saw the black banana-like stone in his hand. These were paleontological scholars, and at a glance they recognized this as a fossilized tooth of some kind of carnivore. But the fat man shouted, and everyone couldn't watch him hang himself up and down in the air like this. A couple of graduate students took their hands and pulled the guy up with a pulley.

The fat man who was pulled up was extremely excited, and Huang Wenxi, who was a paleontologist for most of the time, immediately put the things in his hand in front of several old professors and researchers who led the team, and everyone gathered around to see it - this is a typical banana-shaped tooth fossil, well developed, and these people have seen a lot of this type of tooth. "Tyrannosaurus? That's right, it's from the Tyrannosauridae! But at this length, it's already bigger than the Rex Tyrannosaurus. "Everyone immediately recognized the possible owner of this tooth fossil, a tooth like an ice axe, with a jagged sharp edge on one side, and a deep tooth root, the whole tooth including the root of the tooth is thirty centimeters long, and at first glance it is the kind of terrifying weapon that bites through the flesh and bones at the same time and bites to pieces. Huang Wenxi is already a little stammering when he speaks now, "Jaw!" There's a big jaw underneath! The fat man made a special gesture to signify, he turned his head sideways, his chin protruded forward, and patted the back of his jaw with the palm of his hand, indicating that he was seeing a bone similar to this part.

At this time, there was already a graduate student who didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, hooked the downhill hook to himself, and went down with the safety belt - he also brought a manuscript and a pocket, and when he came up, he confirmed the fat man's opinion, "There is a fault, but I can't see the structure of the mandible, but I see the part of the second tooth, which must be in the rock formation." I took some samples of the surrounding rocks. The guy crouched on the ground and poured out the stones from the bag. At this time, someone had already gone down with a camera to shoot.

From the analysis of rock samples and fault photographs, this rock formation should be after the Mesozoic Era, about the age of the Eocene, and after a simple identification of the instrument, it is believed that it is 55 million years old and 200,000 years old. If this is really a fossil left over from a tyrannosaur creature, then it proves that dinosaurs roamed the land of China at least 55 million years ago - this is enough to shake the discovery of modern paleontology. No dinosaur fossils from 65 million years have been found in the world, and if they are unearthed, it is likely to be a piece of evidence that rewrites paleontology. Everyone is very excited right now, but now there is a question - how to do the excavation?

If the fossil is to be excavated, it will be a lot of work, peeling the mountain layer by layer, until the dinosaur fossil is exposed to the surface - everyone has their own opinion on how complete this fossil is, and most people think that it should be some fragment, probably half of the jaw or something. There are even quite a few people who believe that it is likely that the 65 million-year-old fossils were squeezed into the Cenozoic strata by geological movements - a fairly reasonable view, after all, even if it were a real dinosaur fossil, it was probably only an isolated evidence, and the only one in the world that this alone evidence is not convincing.
