Thanks to modern technology, the work of cleaning up fossils is actually much faster than before, as long as the rough fossil contains rocks, then after surface cleaning and hardening protection, all of them are cut off and transported away in one go - this process was originally very careful and cumbersome, but with the help of modern ground penetrating radar, it is carried out quickly.

The parts of the body are discovered quite quickly, and of course everyone has a new admiration every day. What a huge carnivorous dragon this is...... The length of the femur is at least two meters, the tibia of the calf is a little longer, and the height of the dragon is at least eight meters after standing. The vertebrae have almost all been identified, and since the head has not yet been excavated, it is estimated that the length of the first thoracic vertebra found to the mutilated tail vertebra of the tail alone is sixteen meters, and if the head and some of the missing tail vertebrae are included, the carnivorous dragon is likely to be more than twenty meters. The largest Tyrannosaurus rex was only 14 meters, which was a full third more than the largest Tyrannosaurus rex, and it was likely to weigh more than 20 tons. This is not only the largest carnivorous dragon, but also the heaviest carnivorous dragon. The world has been hotly hyped about this dinosaur - whether it is "the biggest tyrannosaurus rex!!" Or "The dinosaurs didn't go extinct 65 million years ago!!" "It's a hot topic right now, especially among children and teenagers.

The trucks have transported most of the fossil blocks, and they will be transported to the Institute of Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for cleaning and restoration, and now the most important thing is to clean up and excavate the skull of this dinosaur. Huang Fatzi is now the protagonist, he led several graduate students, and in the CCTV camera and the host's excited live voice, the stone on the skull fossil that has already been almost done is uncovered. To be honest, the scientific literacy of the host is actually very poor, although he looks really good, but the words he says are a joke - especially in terms of professionalism, "At least you do some homework, right?" This is Huang Wenxi's thoughts, of course, his second thought is: "Three thousand yuan." ”

Underneath the camera is a bumpy rock surface with different shades of color, which not only the photographer and host on the scene can't understand, but also the audience in front of the TV can't understand it. But people who can read listen to the TV, "This? Is this the skull of the largest Tyrannosaurus rex? They couldn't hear the host's words anymore, and they were amazed by the images on the TV. Those who can read can naturally clearly distinguish that this is the upper right half of the dinosaur skull, and the picture shows a fairly complete eye socket and part of the skull, just the exposed part is already a big exaggeration, this eye socket can be seen by the ratio of the hand to it when the staff cleans it, the diameter is definitely larger than a tennis ball, almost the size of a lead ball, and the same is true of the exposed part of the skull - sure enough, the length of the cut skull fossil block is more than three meters.

The fossil has also become the No. 1 specimen to be cleaned up in the Institute of Paleontology, and it is not only domestic experts who have joined it, but even famous foreign paleontologists have their own - this specimen is too exaggerated and too important, and now China is also an open country, and will not prevent foreigners from studying this thing together, in fact, this "Tyrannosaurus rex" is about to become the pride of China - you Yankee have a tyrannosaurus rex is a fart, ours is bigger than you! Of course, the new generation of giant carnivores of North America can't compete for the time being - such as the saber-toothed tiger, the giant short-faced bear, and the brutal lion...... Of course, there are giant hyenas in my country and An's middle beasts, and they are not incomparable. The competition between China and the United States is manifested in the hearts of everyone......

The fossil wasn't fragmented, it was basically divided into several large pieces, which made it a lot easier to sort it out - the first thing that was excavated was the large parts, such as the femur. After being stripped of the rocks attached to the outside, the recovered pelvic and leg bones were thrilled by all the scientists who participated in the work. This huge pelvis is the size of a car, the pubic bone in front of it proves that this is a male dinosaur, and the length of the long leg bone after restoration has reached more than 5.3 meters, the height of this dinosaur is estimated to reach eight meters high after standing, which is twice as large as the Rex Tyrannosaurus of the largest tyrannosaur family in the past, and its weight is naturally more than 20 tons, according to the recovered fossils, the length of this dinosaur can reach about 20 meters, which is already longer than the long neck of many sauropods. Such a dinosaur was definitely the strongest and most powerful ruler at that time, if it was really the remnants of those who escaped the mass extinction of the dinosaurs for 55 million years, then it should be an invincible existence in that era. But the question also arises, can such a large body be used? If it was to prey on the large animals of the time or to prey on other predators, there was no need to grow so big, even if it was as big as a tyrannosaurus......

However, this question can be left for later, and the most important thing is to repair the dinosaur's skull. Judging from the bones of its body, half of the experts believe that this is not a dinosaur of the Tyrannosaurus superfamily, and it is likely that they have discovered a completely new family of the Void Bone Saur family, and of course half of them are against it...... Although this dinosaur is much larger than the Tyrannosaurus rex, its standing posture should be about the same, and its half forelimbs have exposed fossil pieces, which can be seen to be more developed than the forelimbs of the Tyrannosaurus, and the proportions are much larger, more similar to the proportions of the forelimbs and body of those smaller carnivorous dinosaurs, so in order to balance the front half of the body and the possible huge head, the tail of this dinosaur is much thicker and heavier than that of the Tyrannosaurus, and the spines of the tail are very high, which proves that this dinosaur is different from other carnivores. The muscularity of its tail is not noticeably tapered, and it is likely to be about the same thickness all the way to the tip of the tail, which not only balances the well-developed front half of the body, but also gives itself a powerful weapon - a muscular tail like a battering ram.

In the end, whether this is considered a tyrannosaur or not, the decisive evidence is in the skull. The skull had gradually dissociated from the rock, leaving everyone speechless. This is a carnivorous dragon skull that has never been seen before, and if I had to say it, it is a little similar to Spinosaurus...... The relatively flat upper half of the head, then a thick and exaggerated chin, slightly covering the sky, and then the mouth is very exaggerated, not so much a dinosaur, but like a python - the same movable jaw joint can be greatly expanded, and then the terrifying large mouth that occupies almost the entire length of the head, a large mouth full of fangs, and the lower jaw is even different from all carnivorous dragons, the gums even contain the entire front end of the lower jaw, and the fangs grow to the outside of the mouth, The lower jaw of the front half becomes a durian.......

"This head is completely different from the Tyrannosaurus, not as tall and wide as the Tyrannosaurus rex at all, but it is relatively flat and wide, but this mouth can actually open one hundred and twenty degrees, this is the same as a python, such a carnivorous dragon must be a new species!" This is the opinion of everyone after seeing the skull - those Tyrannosaurus scientists defected in an instant......
