[ Ding! Fossil! ]

[ Period: Late Cretaceous! ]

[ Value: 6.6 million yuan! ]

What now? A fossil from the Late Cretaceous period?

At present, scientists divided the Cretaceous period into two epochs: Early and Late, and these two epochs are further subdivided into twelve stages. Of course, even though the period is divided into two epochs, it still spanned sixty million years, and it was by no means only 100 years.

As such, the fact that this location contained both fossils from the early and late Cretaceous periods indicated that… [ Ding, you have discovered a fossil! ]

[ Period: Late Jurassic! ]

[ Value: ]

Damn!

At this moment, Luo Feng’s expression became petrified, just like the fossil.

What did this mean?

The Cretaceous period was mentioned, but why was there a Jurassic fossil here as well?

It did not make sense.

“Dinosaur, it’s a dinosaur, I see the fossil of a dinosaur!”

“Host, please move your big head out of the way so I can have a closer look!”

“This fossil is so complete! This piece alone is enough to become an heirloom!” Atter LUO Feng regamea ms composure, ne noticea tnat tne system nad not assigned a price to this fossil. Was it another priceless treasure that the system could not evaluate? Generally, when encountering such situations, most were outrageously high in price, while a few had prices that were difficult to estimate, like the previous artifacts from the eunuch tomb.

At this moment, Luo Feng’s eyes were intently focused on the dinosaur fossil on the stone. It was a complete dinosaur fossil, which could make many biologists exclaim in awe. The fossil’s cross-section was about 1.6 meters long, with a body length of thirty centimeters and evenly distributed bones.

Two claws… No, two wings.

The wingspan should be about half a meter.

“Luo Feng, is this a Pterosaur fossil?” Su Meiji, who naturally knew about many dinosaurs, recognized it and was astonished.

“Yes!” Luo Feng nodded, deciding not to think about why there were dinosaur fossils from two different periods here for now, and continued, “This should be a Late Jurassic dinosaur fossil! Although Pterosaurs are not technically dinosaurs, they are close relatives! However, such a complete fossil is truly rare!”

Such a complete dinosaur fossil; Luo Feng knew that countless experts would be itching to study it.

[ Ding! You have discovered a fossil! ] [ Period: Early Cretaceous! ]

[ Value: 21 million yuan! ]

The fossil was about fifty centimeters long, and it consisted of only the head, but the head was large, and it had a long mouth.

“This might be a baby hadrosaur!” Luo Feng knew that such a unique fossil had definitely belonged to a baby hadrosaur since there were very few dinosaurs with such a shape!

[ Ding! You have discovered a fossil! Cretaceous period, valued at 14 million yuan! ]

Time spent excavating was time well spent.

In the blink of an eye, a day had gone by.

The biggest gain, of course, was the complete skeletal fossil of the Pterosaur.

The rest of their findings were mainly scattered fossils.

Some were just a head, others were leg bones, half a skull, or tailbones.

These incomplete fossils were not very valuable.

The value of fossils depended on their completeness; even a rough outline of a dinosaur could greatly increase its value.

“Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!”

Just as Luo Feng was sitting on a rock eating canned food, the helicopter’s humming sound began to reverberate through the area.

Gu Santong had arrived with a geology team.

The helicopter landed on a flat grassy slope not far away.

A group of people got off the helicopter and briskly walked towards Luo Feng.

They wanted to run over but felt that, as civilized people, they should not get too excited, as they would be no different than monkeys if they followed their primal instincts.

However, unbeknownst to them, they already resembled monkeys.

Ten minutes later, everyone finally arrived.

“Mr. Luo, nice to meet you. I am Professor Liu from Xianyang Geological University!”

“Hello, Professor Liu!” Luo Feng greeted, “It’s getting late today, so we’re going to rest and resume work tomorrow.”

“Alright, but we would like to take a look at some of the fossils you’ve excavated first!”

The anxious Professor Liu may not get to dig today, as the sky was getting dark and would be inconducive for operations, but at the very least, he still wanted to see the newly unearthed fossils, as fossils were his lifelong passion.

“Is it possible that this place contains a large number of dinosaur fossils?”

After examining the fossils for a while, an excited Professor Liu spoke up and scanned the surroundings.

“Why do you say that?” Luo Feng asked curiously.

“Just a guess!”

“Uh!” Luo Feng was speechless.

“But I do have some basis for it. Do you know what dinosaur fossil this is?” Professor Liu pointed to a fossil.

“I do; it’s a baby hadrosaur!” Luo Feng nodded.

“Ah, you already knew?”

Now it was Professor Liu’s turn to be surprised.

This young man was impressive.

Was there anything he did not understand?

“Of course I know; the mouth looks quite similar!” Luo Feng said.

“Yes, indeed, it’s a baby hadrosaur. I’ve found an identical one at another site! ” Professor Liu confirmed.

“Professor Liu, since baby hadrosaurs are from the Early Cretaceous period and Pterosaurs are from the Late Jurassic period, why were their fossils found together?” Luo Feng asked.

“Pterosaurs and hadrosaurs lived during overlapping periods, so it’s not strange, ” Professor Liu explained, “But the fact that there are dinosaur fossils from different periods here, and they are all well-preserved, suggests that there could be a large number of fossils beneath this hillside, speaking based on my experience..”
