Most of the people who can come here know a little bit of common sense, and there are many senior players and even experts. But if they are not so obscure that they have never seen or even heard of them, they can judge ninety-seven or eighty-eight as long as they glance at them.

It's like this one: what other animal can grow such a big tooth except for a tiger's?

Several experts on the left are the same, since Boss Cheng took out the fossils, they have been paying attention to the movements here, including Li Ding'an's judgment that the Huya Smoke Pot was fought later, and they also heard it clearly.

Don't look at a small smoking pot, unless you open it, nine out of ten experts will be eye-catching. Therefore, Li Ding'an is young and young, but his experience is not ordinarily rich.

is secretly admiring, one stone stirs up a thousand waves: This is not a tiger tooth?

Professor Zhang really couldn't sit still, said sorry to a Tibetan friend opposite, got up and walked over.

He didn't speak, but first took a closer look: yes, one bone ridge, two blood grooves, and the teeth were fine and spiral-shaped...... Moreover, the bone ridge is on the convex surface of the tooth, indicating that this is still a tiger upper tooth.

To the touch, the texture is a little dry, not so smooth, but there are no traces of sanding.

It's a bit weird, and it's a bit beyond imagination, but Professor Zhang is at least ninety percent sure: this one is a tiger tooth.

So what does Li Ding'an mean?

Secretly suspicious, he leaned closer again: "Have you read carefully?" ”

I've been watching it for almost ten minutes, and I can't take any more looks.

Li Dingan nodded: It means that he must be right.

"What's going on?"

He didn't answer, but looked at Boss Cheng: "Boss Cheng knows!" ”

"I know a hairy ...... No, of course I know, this is Huya...... Haha, Mr. Li, 300,000, pay for it! ”

Boss Cheng sneered...... Oh no, it's already a smirk, just like pulling the papers out of my bag.

Not to mention, the stuff is quite complete: photos, appraisal certificates, invoices for transactions......

Looking at the things on the table, Li Dingan sighed helplessly.

Just now, he really thought that these people were not giving up and wanted to trick their own words. But looking at this posture, I don't know what this thing is.

No, the word "Huya" on the appraisal certificate is not conspicuous, and it was issued by a well-known miscellaneous expert in Beijing.

The invoice is also on, although it is an ordinary art invoice, but it is clearly written: tiger tooth ornaments. A special note was also made to indicate that this was something that existed before the introduction of the relevant laws and could be traded and circulated normally.

The price is not low, two hundred and twenty thousand.

Looking at the photo again, it was taken before it was broken, and the tips of the teeth are still there, and they are indeed quite long, at least fifteen or sixteen centimeters.

Boss Cheng put these things in front of Li Ding'an, and his mouth was about to smile crookedly: "Mr. Li, the wind and waves have come over, why did you capsize in the gutter?" You said that your eyesight can be seen even after it is broken, how can you say that this is not a tiger tooth? ”

The three companions were also in good spirits, and the boss surnamed Feng held up his mobile phone and couldn't help but slap Li Ding'an's face: "Teacher Li, don't admit it, I can keep filming?" ”

Li Ding'an didn't know what to say: it can be regarded as waiting, right?

"Several, what I'm saying is: it doesn't have to be a tiger tooth ......"

"That doesn't mean anything? Mr. Li, don't pick words......"

I pick a yarn?

Li Ding'an thought for a while, picked up the smoke pot, and pointed to the lusterless piece in the middle: "Boss Cheng, take a good look, is this thing too white?" ”

"Teacher Li, aren't you talking nonsense, can your teeth not be white?"

"Look again, is there any shortcoming?"

"Don't quibble...... This is a tooth, what can be missing? ”

"Lack of glaze!"

", where did the glaze come from on the teeth...... Oh no, it really should be glazed! ”

Boss Cheng replied violently, "Mr. Li, my friend studied it before I started: this tiger tooth is indeed a little dry, and there is no glaze in some places, but you don't want to think about it, how many years ago is it, isn't it normal to wear out a little?" ”

Is this wear, this is not long at all.

But if he wanted to say that, he would certainly not admit it.

Li Dingan scratched his head a little, looked left and right, and picked up the needle before, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not too intuitive, so he simply picked up the smoke pot and knocked it on the table.

Everyone didn't know what he meant, and they all gathered around.

"Dangdangdang...... Dangdangdang......"

The ordinary conference table, covered with gold velvet, has a very brittle voice, and Li Ding'an is quite strong.

I knocked more than ten times, and at first I didn't see anything, but after knocking, something suddenly rolled out of the small hole in the smoke pot.

It's quite a lot, there are several pieces, some big and some small. The small ones are like millet, one by one, and the big ones are like bran, one by one, but they are all white.

Li Ding'an threw down the smoking pot, squeezed his nails, and "snapped", and a piece of rice-skinned thing shattered into powder.

"What is this, the bone residue left behind after the holes?"

"It looks a bit like it, but why does it break when you squeeze it?"

"That's tartar?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, tartar can grow into the pulp?"

Everyone couldn't understand it, and stared at Li Ding'an in a daze. Including Boss Cheng, he looked dazed, as if asking: What do you mean?

Li Ding'an pushed the tartar-like thing forward:

"Boss Cheng, this is a tiger, with such brittle teeth?"

Boss Cheng tilted his head and thought for a while: "Didn't you talk about it just now, how many years have it been, how can it be as hard as before?" Besides, you still don't allow a tiger to have a diseased tooth? ”

There was laughter all around, and Li Dingan opened his lips, not knowing what to say.

This guy is purely pretending to be confused, not to mention the tiger, not to mention that it has been kept for twenty or thirty years, and it is still carefully preserved, even if it is a mouse tooth thrown into the sun for forty or fifty years, what it was before and what it is after it.

Associate Professor Zhang also reacted: Boss Cheng can also say that he has never dug a tomb or seen a corpse, but he is a professional archaeologist and does not know too much.

In many tombs, the skulls have turned to ashes, but the teeth are intact. The reason is simple: more than 95% of the enamel layer is made up of inorganic salts, and the oxidation rate is extremely slow.

It's not that it won't age, but if you want to decay to the point where you will fall off the slag after a knock, it's absolutely impossible to have a few hundred years.

Looking at the tooth lines and blood grooves on it, at most, it will be something that has been in place for twenty or thirty years.

I remembered what Li Ding'an just said, there are no enamel layers in some places, Associate Professor Zhang took a closer look, and sure enough?

He thought for a moment, "Has this thing been corroded, or has it been soaked in potions?" ”

If that's good, at least it's right.

Li Dingan shook his head: "This thing doesn't look right!" ”

What does it mean?

Not to mention the people who eat melons, even the experts who stretch their necks to watch the excitement are not calm: What are you kidding, there is still a saying that this thing is long or not long?

Li Dingan thought about it very seriously: "This is not a complete tooth...... It doesn't seem right, it should be said that this tooth is not fully developed, only half of it has grown......"

That's it, you say it's not fully developed?

How big does it have to be?

Boss Cheng and his three friends stared wide-eyed, and Qian Jinyu and Jiang Lingyu also widened their eyes: Li Ding'an knew everything he said, but when he put a piece, he couldn't understand it.

"Don't worry, I'll explain slowly!"

Li Ding'an picked up the dental tube again:

"At first, I just thought that this tooth was a bit big, but it was very white, so I thought, is it using a fake method that I haven't seen before?

For example, some horned carvings will have a cornea on the outside and bone meal on the inside...... But from the outside, there are almost no flaws. So I poked it with a needle, and it was only then that I realized that the tooth had been broken. And with a needle, you can actually pick out the bone residue from it?

Tibetan friends all know how hard the teeth of carnivores are, not to mention the tiger with the highest bone density, just ordinary dog teeth, which can't be smashed with a sledgehammer, but this one is as brittle as wood? It's definitely not a matter of length either. Just like the Forbidden City, the ivory carvings handed down from the Ming Dynasty are not one or two, and they have not been so unsturdy for hundreds of years......

I wonder if it's just like what Professor Zhang just said, it was corroded by something or soaked in potion and wasted, and then I looked at it from the outside again, and this look saw the problem:

There are many places on the tooth surface where there is no enamel layer, and it is not falling off or wearing, because there are no uneven places, so it does not grow at all, which is why this tooth is so brittle...... The reason why you look at this thing now is because you often replenish oil and wax......"

What's the matter, there is no enamel layer on the teeth?

How is that eaten?

You know, this is a tiger, you can't drink it all at once, right?

A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at Huya, one by one is confused.

At first glance, it sounds like that, but when you think about it carefully, it's not logical at all: if it's really like Li Ding'an said, the teeth are brittle like this, so how did this tiger survive?

"Haha, the head of the word is the way...... Mr. Li, I don't think you should be an expert in identification, but become a biologist, right? ”

"Don't say it, it's really a little bit related to biology, don't praise me, it's really a wit: at first I wondered a little, how can a tiger's teeth be so big, a little bit beyond common sense. But on the contrary, it has all the characteristics of tiger teeth? At the time, I was almost jokingly thinking, it can't be a new species, a tiger and something hybridized, right?

It wasn't until I found out that the enamel layer on the tooth was missing, and it didn't seem to be complete, that I remembered that this animal is really a hybrid, and the reason why the tooth is so brittle is caused by incomplete genetics, which is a defective genetic disease of reproductive isolation...... Including why this tooth is so big, this is also the reason.

Because this animal does not have genes that control growth, it grows at an abnormally fast rate, and its body size is abnormally large when it becomes an adult, so it is not only the size of the teeth, but also the growth of the whole body...... For example, the average weight of an adult Siberian tiger is 600 catties, but this thing can grow up to half a ton......

Let's talk about why this tooth is so white, it is also a genetic defect: nine out of ten heads of this thing are born, and they are all born with albinism, can it not be white? I'll talk about why this thing survived with such brittle teeth:

Because of the genetic defect, this thing is not only brittle teeth, but also brittle bones, and it breaks at every turn. There are also problems with intelligence, some of them can't even learn to run from birth to death, so they can only walk, and their predation ability is basically equal to zero...... Therefore, whoever survives is raised by man......

Then, let me talk about why I say 'it's not necessarily a tiger', because it's hard to define: this thing is indeed born of a tiger, but it was crossed with a lion, do you think it counts as a tiger? It's like a mule, it's born of a horse, and it does look like it, but can you say he's a horse? Otherwise, where does the saying 'a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip away'? ”

Li Ding'an's mouth was like a machine gun, and the horn and horn kept talking, and the onlookers were stunned: when they heard the first half, most of them felt nonsense, there are still such animals in this world?

Hearing the back, when it was said that this was a cross between a tiger and something, some people reacted: After a long time, it was a lion and tiger beast?

There are also those with fast hands-on ability, and they checked it on the spot, not to mention, most of them match. In particular, the heads are unexpectedly large, and some can grow to the size of the heads of two adult tigers. The big teeth on the head are naturally long, and the longest recorded is more than 20 centimeters.

There is basically no difference in the claim of genetic defects, this thing has extremely low immunity, an extremely high mortality rate, and a survival rate of less than 1 in 500,000.

Including albinism, brittle bones, mental retardation, etc., are exactly the same as what Li Ding'an said.

But to say that this tooth is also ...... It's really hard to say.

Because up to now, it was all his own reasoning, and there was no strong evidence. Others don't say it, anyway, Boss Cheng doesn't admit it if he is killed.

"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it gets?"

Boss Cheng was still laughing, but the flesh on his face was obviously stiff, "I have a good tiger tooth, how did I become a lion and tiger beast?" ”

"Boss Cheng, don't worry, isn't it difficult to verify? Even fossils can be detected, let alone such a large tooth? Rest assured, there are so many biological bone and gene laboratories in the capital, and you can test it by finding any one.

It's not expensive, it's only ten to two hundred thousand, and it's fast, at most one or two hours...... Just like we said before, if I read it wrong, I will pay the test fee, and I want to see it right, then you must be responsible for it......"

Going to the lab again?

Suddenly, someone thought of the scene in Zhina: Boss Cheng patted the bag: Teacher Li, don't think about what appraisal fees you have to pit me......

"Coaxed", and there was a roar of laughter around.

The louder the laughter, the faster Boss Cheng's face turned green: "I have an invoice and an appraisal certificate, what laboratory do I enter?" Li Ding'an, you have no tricks, what are you making up a story here? ”

If you really think this is a story, why hurry?

It is clear that he has already believed seventy or eighty percent......

Knowing that he would not admit it if he died, Li Dingan was too lazy to fight, and pointed to the smoke pot: "Boss Cheng, you just said that it was unpredictable, right?" ”

I'll test a hammer......

Unexpectedly, this thing is not from the Qing Dynasty, but it is still inlaid with silver tiger tooth smoke pot, if it is measured, it is really the tooth of the lion and tiger beast...... That thing has been reduced to being raised by people, it is worse than a sick cat, how many cents are teeth worth?

Boss Cheng didn't speak, just snorted and grabbed the smoke pot.

This is obviously a trick, Li Dingan didn't stop him, and looked at him with a smile.

Is it true that a verbal agreement is not an agreement?

With such a big camera shooting, how can it be said that he can rely on it, and then someone will naturally look for him.

The three companions also stood up, ready to leave in disgrace. The four of them had just turned around when a staff member with a chest tablet walked over.

"Cheng Feng, Boss Cheng, right?"

Thinking that he was blocking him from leaving, Boss Cheng's face was a little unsightly: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"The test results of the fossils are out, and the testing unit is the China Institute of Paleontology."

The staff handed over the bag, which contained the previous stone, and a piece of paper, "I just sent it, you can take a look: the test results show that it is indeed a dinosaur egg fossil...... The damage is not big, but it is just a small eye, do you want to shoot? ”

"Huh", Boss Cheng's face is no longer green, but directly blue.

Shall I take a hair?
