Taoyuan little fisherman

Chapter 947 The Living Ammonite

Spiral, round.

Although this description is very brief, Wang Tianhui was the first to think of Nautilus.

Both he and Professor Liu Simin believed that there would still be nautiluses in this underground cavity.

"Is it the nautilus that was caught that day? The big one?" Wang Tianhui asked.

Xiao Liu nodded, then shook his head again.

"Like, not like."

Manager Huang was anxious, "Does it look like it?"

When Manager Huang was in a hurry, Xiao Liu became nervous, and when he was nervous, he couldn't speak.

"This this……"

Wen Tianyu reprimanded Manager Huang: "Don't keep scaring this kid, okay? Don't ask, let Mr. Wang ask!"

Manager Huang smiled awkwardly, and quickly shrank back, "Mr. Wang, you should come."

Wang Tianhui nodded, and then asked Xiao Liu, "It doesn't matter if you're not sure. Think about the picture at that time carefully. Besides the round one, is there anything special about it?"

Before Wang Tianhui went down to have a look, he had to ask about the situation below. It would not be wise to go down rashly.

Xiao Liu entered the memory mode, trying to recall the situation at that time.

"Round, flat, oh yes! There are many edges and corners, they are suspended in the water, the small ones are as big as snails, and the big ones are bigger than the tires of our village's combine harvester! So many! "Xiao Liu said excitedly.

Manager Huang frowned when he heard this, and wanted to say something about him, but he took a look at Wen Tianyu and held back, but he reached out and touched Xiao Liu's head.

"Manager Huang, I don't have a fever, what I said is true! There are really super big ones!"

After Xiao Liu's description, Wang Tianhui was shocked.

"What's the matter? Tianhui, what are you thinking?" Seeing Wang Tianhui's expression, Xu Changshan asked in a low voice.

"Ammonite." Wang Tianhui said in shock.

"Ammonite? What kind of stone is ammonite? Stones can also bite people? Tianhui, are you talking nonsense?"

This time it was Xu Changshan's turn to touch Wang Tianhui's head.

Wang Tianhui knocked Xu Changshan's hand off and said: "Ammonites are creatures that appeared in the early Devonian period of the Paleozoic Era 4 million years ago. They have existed in the ocean for 3 million years. They are widely distributed all over the world. Extinct with the dinosaurs 7 million years ago."

Wang Tianhui continued: "The smallest of them is 1 centimeter in diameter, and the largest is more than 2 meters in diameter. They are close relatives of the nautilus."

Everyone exclaimed after hearing this.

"I remembered, before Tianhui, you said that Xiaohui's ancestors lived on ammonites, right? Their chainsaw-like teeth were born to eat ammonites." Xu Changshan said excitedly.

Wang Tianhui nodded and said with a long sigh, "That's right, we never thought we'd find ammonites!"

Suddenly, Manager Huang looked at Xiao Liu's chest and yelled, which startled everyone.

"Xiao Huang, what are you doing?" Wen Tianyu asked displeasedly, brushing Sakura's mouth.

Manager Huang pointed to the stung pimple on Xiao Liu's chest, covered his mouth and exclaimed, "The stone chrysanthemum, which has been extinct for 4 million years, is... unexpectedly alive! It even bit people!"

After Manager Huang's reminder, several people exclaimed.

"My God, this is big news!" Wen Tianyu said excitedly.

Xu Changshan laughed loudly, "Now our Fisherman's Village will become famous again, it's much more powerful than Nautilus!"

"I'll go down and take a look first." Wang Tianhui couldn't wait to take a look at these living ancient creatures.

"Boss, those things bite people!" Xiao Liu reminded worriedly.

Wang Tianhui was very polite to him and believed his words. Xiao Liu was flattered and didn't want anything to happen to Wang Tianhui.

"It's okay, I have my sense of proportion." Wang Tianhui turned his head and smiled, and went to prepare for diving.

He didn't wear diving gear, and he didn't need it. He only wore a strong headlamp, and then put his mobile phone in a waterproof bag and went into the sea.

The sea is calm and clear, and you can see a large pit on the bottom of the sea about five or six meters in diameter.

Inside the pit was pitch black, with no light at all.

Some curious little fish passed by and were attracted by the deep pit and swam in.

During the dive, Wang Tianhui had seen more than a dozen clownfish swim in, but none of them came out.

In less than 2 minutes, Wang Tianhui had already arrived at the edge of the pit.

I used a strong headlight to shine inside, and sure enough, as Xiao Liu said, there were many flat and round ammonites full of edges and corners floating in the shadows.

He saw a huge ammonite with a diameter of about one meter stretched out several tentacles to catch the passing clownfish, dragged it into the shell almost instantly, and spit out only fish bones after a few seconds.

Ammonites are very ferocious predators. They are not only slightly poisonous, but also have flexible tentacles. Most importantly, they have a highly defensive shell as a cover.

Such equipment supported them to dominate the ocean for 3 million years, and even mosasaurs and ichthyosaurs could not do anything about them.

As soon as Wang Tianhui stepped into the underwater cave, the surrounding environment changed instantly, as if he had come to the Paleozoic Era hundreds of millions of years ago.

There is a magical feeling of time travel.

In this huge space, countless large and small ammonites are suspended, most of them are in a sleeping state, which can reduce their consumption.

Ammonites will not starve to death for several months without eating or drinking. Wang Tianhui wondered how they survived.

He shuttled among the ammonites, admiring their beautiful patterns, and was amazed.

Soon he discovered that the seawater here is rich in plankton, and the rock walls are covered with algae, and the place is not completely closed, there are still air holes connecting the outside, allowing some small organisms to drill in.

In short, a small ecosystem has been formed here. Although food is somewhat scarce, it will not starve to death.

Thanks to the lack of food, these ammonites did not reproduce, otherwise the place would be crowded, and the food and oxygen in the water would be exhausted quickly, and then the ammonites would collectively change into stones.

Continuing to swim deeper, Wang Tianhui discovered an existence that made him even more astonished.

At the bottom of the seabed, there are straight-shell nautiluses, each about ten meters long, very huge, and it is very spectacular to lay on the bottom of the sea.

When they move, they will protrude from the shell. They look exactly like the current squid, but they are bigger. They can walk and swim fast, like a big weapon walking in water.

Wang Tianhui made a rough count. There are 130 right-angled nautiluses, about [-] pearl nautiluses and large-umbilical nautiluses, and about [-] ammonites.

These extinct ancient creatures just swim and prey in front of Wang Tianhui alive, it feels like a dream.

After recording these on video, Wang Tianhui was so excited that his hands trembled.

He couldn't wait to go ashore, so he couldn't wait to send it to Professor Liu Simin.

Professor Liu Simin will be very excited if he sees this scene!
