Chapter 157: New fossils of Tyrannosaurus! (55)

I go……

Su Ran didn't expect that this seemingly casual journey would lead him to such an important discovery.

This is actually a Tyrannosaurus fossil!

Moreover, the fossils are very complete.

"Have we ever discovered dinosaur fossils in Northeast China before?" Su Ran asked the live broadcast room indifferently.

"Yes, hadrosaur fossils have been discovered before." Deng Jiaying asked, "So, Su Ran, what do you mean?"

There was a vague guess, and everyone in the live broadcast room felt more or less shocked.

Chen Sisi also stared at Su Ran with anticipation.

Under the expectation of thousands of people, Su Ran nodded and moved the camera to the coccyx fossil: "If I am not mistaken, this should be a dinosaur fossil, and I can vaguely feel that the fossil is relatively complete."

In Chen Sisi's opinion, this was just an uncertain guess of Su Ran, but many viewers in the live broadcast room were already unable to sit still.

Especially some experts in related fields were surprised and delighted.

A group of people from the Capital National Archaeological Team had just finished their work in Linhai and were resting in the hotel. The leading professor stared at his cell phone screen in astonishment.

"What's wrong, Professor Zhao?" the team member asked in confusion.

Zhao Jintai pushed up his glasses and pointed at the screen in the live broadcast room in disbelief: "Someone found dinosaur fossils in the forest!"

"what?"

The team members who were resting in the room or busy working on their laptops turned their heads and looked over.

"It must be fake. The chance of discovering dinosaur fossils is no less than winning the lottery. Could it be a live broadcast gimmick?"

Zhao Jintai shook his head and said, "You may not have followed this anchor and don't understand him, but I often watch his live broadcasts. He is almost always a leader in various industries, especially in the field of nature."

"His words are not false, and there is no such thing as sensationalism."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise when they heard this, and took out their phones to find Su Ran's live broadcast room.

At this time, the news that Su Ran had found dinosaur fossils spread instantly on the Internet.

This caused shock to countless scholars in the industry.

"There aren't many dinosaur fossils left, and even fewer complete ones. Host, do you know what kind of dinosaur this is?"

Seeing the comments like this, Su Ran was stunned for a moment: "Uh... I'm not a god, how would I know this?"

He felt that if he said directly that this was not only a Tyrannosaurus fossil, but also a Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil, it would definitely cause great surprise.

But that is too unreasonable. After all, without the help of any instruments, how could anyone determine what kind of dinosaur it is just by looking at a small section of tailbone fossil?

The most Su Ran could say was that it was a Tyrannosaurus fossil.

But for now we still need the help of archaeological experts.

After the live broadcast content was spread, Su Ran didn't even need to make any phone calls himself, as many archaeological teams had already rushed to Lin Hai.

The first person to arrive was Zhao Jintai. When he and his team members rushed into Su Ran's camera panting, he grinned at Su Ran's camera with a sun hat on and said, "Excuse me, everyone. The archaeological mission here will be taken over by our Capital National Archaeological Team."

When the leader of the archaeological team who was rushing over from the industry saw Zhao Jintai, a familiar face, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and cursed with extremely vicious language in the barrage.

"Old Zhao, you are shameless! This is the territory of our provincial archaeological team. Why are you, a member of the capital's archaeological team, joining in the fun?"

"Professor Zhao, you are so unethical. We just left the province. Did you teleport here?"

Zhao Jintai chuckled, "Sorry, I just finished an archaeological mission nearby and didn't expect to come across such a great job. In our archaeological community, we always believe in first come, first served. You should seize this opportunity next time."

After saying this, Zhao Jintai no longer paid attention to the comments from his colleagues that were distorted with jealousy and envy.

He grabbed Su Ran's hand and said excitedly: "Stationmaster Su has been watching your live broadcast. Now that I see you in person, you are indeed extraordinary."

Su Ran smiled awkwardly. He was not used to Zhao Jintai, a master in the industry, being attentive to him, so he could only smile awkwardly. However, the archaeological team members under Zhao Jintai were all incredible.

Some of them were Zhao Jintai's subordinates, and some were his students. They had been with Professor Zhao for so long, but they had never seen him be so attentive to anyone.

There is no official like him, let alone a young man whose qualifications are not as good as his.

However, there must be a reason why Su Ran received Zhao Jintai's praise.

"You guys should have brought some equipment with you. Judging from the tailbone, I think it should be a Tyrannosaurus fossil."

Hearing this, the archaeologists all looked at him with suspicion.

"How can you be so sure that this is a Tyrannosaurus fossil?" asked one of Zhao Jintai's students.

"Simple."

I thought Su Ran would give a professional analysis, but he just said calmly: "Nothing special, just familiarity. Although I am just a forest ranger and my work does not involve fossil archaeology, I have read no less than a hundred books about dinosaurs."

"I have read all the scientific research papers, and there are naturally a lot of pictures."

Several people were stunned when they heard this: "Are you kidding?"

"Hey, how can you talk to Stationmaster Su?" Zhao Jintai raised his hand to interrupt. "Stationmaster Su knows a lot of skills. Don't judge a person by his appearance. Although he is young, he has more professional knowledge than any of you."

Su Ran’s fans strongly agree with this point.

"It's obvious that these archaeological team members don't watch Su Shen's live broadcast very often. From time to time, Su Shen would give us a surprise and show us his skills. Even if he said he wanted to build an airplane live in the future, I would believe him."

"Haha, you're right. I just like the way these high achievers from the city look like they have never seen the world. It's cool!"

Zhao Jintai said no more and directly took out the professional analysis equipment.

"This device can build relevant models through different materials at the molecular level, so you only need to scan the stone wall to use the different ripple lengths and reflections to draw the internal structure."

Zhao Jintai said something specifically to Su Ran’s camera.

Then, he asked his students to take out the instruments and start scanning the stone wall.

Zhao Jintai and Su Ran squatted in front of the workstation computer and stared at the wave lines that had returned before.

A complete dinosaur fossil model gradually appeared on the screen.

But Zhao Jintai's brows slowly furrowed together.

"This... is a Tyrannosaurus fossil, yes. But, it doesn't look like the Tyrannosaurus skeleton I've seen."

Yes, there is a big gap between the test results and the T. Rex skeleton.

Because this is not a Tyrannosaurus Rex itself, but a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Seeing that the time was right, Su Ran pretended to think, and then gave a key hint: "Professor Zhao, I have read relevant research on the Tyrannosaurus superfamily and the genus Tyrannosaurus in a certain paper."

"Is it possible that this is not a Tyrannosaurus Rex, but more like a Tyrannosaurus Rex?"

Tyrannosaurus Rex is a more professional name for Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Zhao Jintai opened his mouth in surprise.

He knew very well that Tyrannosaurus does not only refer to Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Take China for example, the largest known Tyrannosaurus rex in the country was discovered there.

Zhucheng Tyrannosaurus belongs to the Tyrannosaurinae subfamily within the Tyrannosauroidea superfamily.

It is closely related to the Tyrannosaurus Rex of North America and the Tarbosaurus of Asia.

He looked at Su Ran meaningfully as he thought about it, then nodded heavily and said excitedly, "You are right. Even if we don't confirm the true identity of this fossil for the time being, one thing is certain. This is the first new fossil discovered among the known Tyrannosaurus fossils!"
