Chapter 137: You Still Have Fossils?!
"Wu Qianshan, Fu Haitao."
Yu Xian called him by his name in the live broadcast room, which caused dissatisfaction between the other party and some viewers.
"What do you want to say?"
"I would like to ask you two what the general pattern was during the evolution of the five fingers of the early theropod dinosaurs to the three fingers of the subsequent ornithischian wings."
Wu Qianshan didn't speak, this kind of question was not worth answering, and Fu Haitao answered.
"Five fingers are not good, not suitable for birds, so there is evolution, the mainstream view in the academic community is that the outermost two fingers and claws are degenerated, and finally the three fingers are left."
Indeed, according to the available information, the academic community believes that the outer "little finger" and "ring finger" disappear, and the remaining three fingers.
"That's not the case." Yu Xian gently shook the fossil, "It is inevitable that the quagmiresaurus is a feathered dinosaur, and its forelimbs show different ways of evolution. ”
"What!?"
The audience still thinks that the big monster of the butterfly dragon is exciting, and the scholars' perspectives are completely different.
The evolutionary evidence that can overturn the mainstream perception of the paleontological community, how can Wu Qianshan not pay attention.
"What do you think happened to the quagmire dragon's forelimbs?"
"You'll find out when I publish my paper."
"You-"
Wu Qianshan's face was flushed with anger, and there was really no way, empathy, they would not casually leak the newly discovered traces.
Fu Haitao was not so calm, pointing to the camera and reprimanding Yu Xian for being unfounded.
"You're fooling people, trying to fool people."
"It doesn't matter, our direct bet can be extended until the paper is issued, and the winner will be judged by academic factors."
Saying this, Wu Qianshan and Fu Haitao looked at each other, and their emotions eased slightly.
It is beneficial for them to use academic factors to determine winners and losers.
The more top-notch the academic circle, the more resources are concentrated in the hands of a few, and the various schools of thought crowd each other out.
If a well-known magazine is the editor-in-chief of faction A, it will be difficult for faction B's paper to be published.
Wu Qianshan has abundant resources, and Fu Haitao has a big backer.
On the other hand, although he has cooperated with "Tianyi Museum", at most he will not be troubled, and he still has to objectively reach the level before he can post normally.
The advantage is mine!
"Oh, yes." Yu Xian interrupted the other party's reverie, "I still have the beak of the quagmire dragon that can't escape." ”
"So what?"
The two fossils of the quagmire that have been released today also have skulls and beaks, which are much more complete than Yu Xian's fossils, so there should be nothing to say, only to make a fuss about the forelimbs.
"The quagmire dragon in my hand is younger, and its mouth..."
Yu Xian smiled and untied the strap slightly, revealing the beak part of the quagmire dragon from the side, and quickly covered it up, so that the audience could not see it too clearly.
It was just a short side display, and Fu Haitao didn't feel anything, "What are you doing?" Fool us? ”
"No... No... That's..."Wu Qianshan muttered in his mouth, startling the researchers.
"Professor Wu."
"Can't escape the quagmire dragon has teeth in its infancy?!"
"What?!"
The fossil of the quagmire that is now publicly available is a normal bird's beak with no teeth inside.
The fossil in Yu Xian's hand obviously has traces of teeth, indicating that it is difficult to escape the quagmire dragon after an evolution from juvenile to maturity, and the presence or absence of teeth also shows changes in its food type.
It is of great significance to study the ecological niche of the Late Jurassic Cold Plateau.
Moreover, the quagmire dragon has a large number of bird characteristics, which is the direction of Wu Qianshan's research.
"You're again... Let me see! ”
"Don't!"
Yu Xian wrapped the fossil of the inescapable quagmire dragon again, and Wu Qianshan had to keep his mouth shut.
If you don't see the shape of your teeth, you can't tell the type of food.
The professor was so emotional, and the audience in the live broadcast room had a judgment in their hearts.
Don't... Yu Xian wants to win?!
A team with only one minivan can win against Fu Zhou Research Institute!?
Fu Haitao's face was not good-looking, that's all.
Scholars who watched the live broadcast knew that the winner was not decided.
It is true that the quagmire dragon has unusual characteristics, but the slender raptor and the big-eyed pterosaur may not be absent, so we cannot make any conclusions.
And since it is said that it is good to decide the winner by academic factors, it is also a question whether both sides can write beautiful papers.
Good fossils are given to bad scholars, and the papers they write may only be published in general journals, not in core journals.
"You're in luck." Fu Haitao's face was like a grass carp that had been marinated all morning, "But don't be complacent for too long, you may not have the ability to do further research." ”
"Wait, don't talk like it's going to end."
"Huh?"
On the screen, Wu Qianshan and Fu Haitao were stunned.
They naturally feel that Yu Xian is out of stock.
The butterfly dragon started with a loud voice, and then mentioned the fire dragon and the velociraptor dragon, and the general dragon dug up earlier was briefly introduced, and finally the heavy quagmire dragon ended.
The show was perfectly paced and ended beautifully.
What else can you do?
Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of sailors and opponents, Yu Xian took out something that looked like a boomerang.
"Do you remember this? The fossils dug up with the Burial Fire Dragon are certainly not the bones of the Burial Fire Dragon. ”
The barrage hurriedly asked what kind of dinosaur it was, and Wu Qianshan also waited quietly for an answer.
Yu Xian just shook his head, "I don't know, I don't recognize which ancient creature of the Cold Plateau it is for the time being." ”
"Whew!"
Fu Haitao's anticlimactic reply made Fu Haitao roll his eyes, "Pretending, such a little fossil is still taken out to make a fool of it, maybe it's just a small reptile eaten by the burial fire dragon." ”
"I don't know, but my gut tells me it's not easy."
Yu Xian didn't talk about the truth, but said that because the follow-up paper limited the use of these fossils, he had to take them out and show them, so as not to be said to be foul.
"Pull it down, don't be a clown."
If it was said that the previous inescapable quagmire dragon made Fu Haitao feel the pressure, the bones like a small boomerang really did not enter his eyes at this time.
Wu Qianshan watched silently, and also felt that Yu Xian was making a big fuss.
Young scholars, especially those who are quick to rise to the limelight with luck, tend to do this, and magnify and consider some clues they don't know.
Whatever intuition you say, the result is all oolong.
Only four years in a third-rate university, without a hard-fought scientific expedition, where did the intuition come from?
"And then, ah, the last one."
"You still have?!"
There are already water friends in the live broadcast room saying that Yu Xian must have made additional purchases through improper means, which is cheating.
Instead, the scholars did not speak much.
They could tell that, except for the skeleton that only looked like a boomerang, the other fossils were all species of the Cold Plateau.
The comparison between the two sides is the results of scientific research, and there is no need to buy a velociraptor to make up the number.
And the Phalaenopsis cervical vertebrae... It is difficult for fossil hunters to get this kind of high-end goods, and some will contact large buyers.
At the same time, you have to buy a juvenile quagmire dragon.
After completing these, I opened up the contacts in the Shenggu Mountain Scenic Area to recognize that the fossils were dug nearby, and asked the local officials in Hanxue City to help identify them...
Instead of believing that the organization behind Yu Xian is so powerful, it is better to believe in luck.
"Okay, what else do you want to pull out?"
"I think it's an unknown dinosaur species."
"Unknown again?!"
