Chapter 609 Giant Skull Fossil!

There were many tourists traveling with us. They originally planned to go to the swamp to see the stone statues and have a delicious meal for lunch. When they heard about it, they spread the news to ten people, and the news spread like this.Suddenly, the crowd rushed towards the third group.

Walking north along the Baima River for more than three kilometers is nothing to Xu Ling or the rural people.But for some people who basically rely on cars to go out, go out of the gate, and shop through shopping, this is a torture!
When Xu Ling and Xiao Dahai, the leader of the third team, arrived, the workers on site were already standing together at a distance, pointing to a foundation pit at the westernmost end, muttering something unknown.Even the workers of the two excavators came down.

"Old Uncle Dong, Xiao Ling is here!" Xiao Dahai shouted to an old man wearing a hard hat.And immediately let the workers do a good job of vigilance and protection.In case this is a human skeleton, the scene cannot be destroyed.

Professor Long followed Xu Ling to the edge of the foundation pit, and when he looked inside, the two gasped!The skull is thicker than Xu Ling's waist, and it looks like a human bone!
Professor Long used his hands and feet to go down into the pit and dig up the surrounding loose soil.Seeing this, Xu Ling asked Xiao Dahai to call Chen Feng and the others, and then he went down with a shovel.

This is the foundation pit prepared for the roof of the house. It is not very wide.Only one-third of the skull was exposed, and there were still traces of the claws of the excavator on it!

"Boy, shovel the dirt around quickly!" Professor Long's eyes shone, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

At this moment, tourists also came, twenty or thirty of them, and the workers would definitely not be able to stop them, so Xiao Dahai had no choice but to ask them not to be crowded!

Everyone cheered when they saw the huge skull.For them, traveling is all about seeing novelties!Suddenly, the flash made Xu Ling and Professor Long's eyes hurt!

"Turn off the flash! Otherwise you won't be allowed to shoot!", Xiao Dahai yelled when he saw Xu Ling and Professor Long covering their eyes in discomfort.The tourists are not unreasonable. They form a circle and are crowded, but they also turn off the flash to take pictures!Some even live broadcast on Weibo in a whimsical way!This is definitely a wealthy person, 4G is very expensive!
After it was uploaded to WeChat and Weibo, it was quite lively!Their phone calls and message notifications have never stopped, they are all asking what's going on!

This also brought these people out of the limelight. They all smiled and said that this is Baimadu Village in Xuling!When the fat man learned about the situation, he stamped his feet angrily. He gave it a good publicity, and then let others intercept him!

Xu Ling's shovel was flying. After a while, his clothes were soaked with sweat, but the skull slowly revealed its original appearance!

Professor Long waited for Xu Ling to clean up the large area of ​​soil around the skull, and immediately squatted down and carefully brushed off the fine soil with his palms.Xu Ling asked Xiao Dahai to bring a small paint brush and ruler.

When the light red soil on it was gently wiped away, Long Hai's face showed ecstasy!

Xu Ling used a ruler to measure it. The diameter of the head shocked him!More than three times larger than ours!And those tourists who were watching the live broadcast also exclaimed after hearing the conversation between Xu Ling and Professor Long!

"Professor, who has such a big head? Is it an ancient human that we don't know?" Some tourists began to ask.

Professor Long looked around the head for a while, thought for a while, and said slowly: "This is not a human skull! Look at the brow bone, doesn't it look like a raised ridge? Also, the eye sockets are sunken and the mouth protrudes , and two canine teeth! Judging from the soil layer, it is likely to be a large ape from the Jurassic period! The details will have to wait for the excavation below!" After finishing speaking, the two climbed out of the big pit and let the When Chen Feng and the others arrived, they covered them with oilcloth to protect them!
That night, the headlines of various websites were once again occupied by Baimadu!Big headline, Baimadu found a large prehistoric human ancestor skull fossil!
Professor Long scolded his mother, he had already explained it very clearly, it was an ape!It's good for them to just talk nonsense and return human ancestors!They are not afraid that their ancestors will get up from the ground and talk to them!

Three days later, the Ministry of Culture and the archaeological department responded quickly. A large archaeological team of more than [-] people was formed by the national archaeological department, the provincial archaeological department, and the county archaeological department to enter the third group and rent a warehouse in the second group as a temporary office. Place, living in the resort center, started a large-scale preliminary exploration!

And this time the National Geographic Channel is at it again.First, they rushed to the swamp that was not completed last time, and second, they exclusively broadcast the archaeological progress live.The reason why it is so grand this time is because Professor Sima and Professor Long told the head of the archaeological department that this may be what scientists all over the world are looking for. It theoretically existed in the Jurassic period. Prototype: giant anthropoid ape!

And they are working non-stop to use the most advanced equipment to remotely measure the specific conditions under the soil layer, and foreign experts are also involved!Professor Jetson immediately called Professor Long, hoping to participate in this archaeological work, and promised to bring the most advanced testing equipment!
Professor Long is also thinking about applying for the advanced remote sensing technology equipment from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since it is already available, it will be in vain if you don’t use it.After all, Jetson is an acquaintance of Hi, and the application received a response quickly.He also hurriedly prepared the instruments and boarded the plane to China again.

One after another, a total of three teams and eleven experts obtained permission from the state to participate in this archaeological excavation.It’s not that they don’t want to refuse, it’s that they have no choice.First, in addition to the Jetson team, there are two others, one is from the National Academy of Sciences of South America, which has always been very friendly, and the other is from Germany!They also brought very advanced age testing equipment.

Moreover, according to the advanced instruments brought by Professor Jetson in the early stage, it was discovered that there are skeleton fossils within ten meters of the soil layer!The range is the entire three groups and the hill behind!A few square kilometers.

Such a large area requires a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources.What's more, Germany is indeed the best in the world in terms of fossil archaeology, and Professor Long and others think it is of great reference.

Before the arrival of the next two archaeological teams, Xu Ling and the others had already cleaned up the fossilized bones of the ape.The moment the TV broadcasted the live broadcast, the whole world was shocked!
It has a body of four meters tall, short legs and long hands, and a tail ridge on its butt, which should be on its tail.This also just confirms Professor Long’s judgment, prehistoric giant apes!
This discovery is considered by scientists all over the world to be the greatest archaeological discovery of mankind in the early 21st century!none of them!

For a while, the screens of TV, newspapers and websites were dominated by this news!
