“What did you find?” “Did the host find a dinosaur fossil?” “There’s nothing here!”

“What is the host talking about?”

The online viewers were naturally curious.

At this moment, Luo Feng activated his scanner, and the hillside was covered in a golden glow. There were numerous treasure markers, at least five or six thousand of them. Swallowing hard, Luo Feng was amazed and wanted to kneel down to the hillside.

Then, Luo Feng walked towards the hillside and arrived at the first treasure marker. On the grayish-brown rock surface, he could clearly see footprints about several dozen centimeters in length, even without digging.

Luo Feng crouched down, took a closer look, and smiled, saying, “Everyone can see it, right? This is a trace fossil!”

What is this

“What animal left this claw print? Why is it so big?”

“Of course, it’s a dinosaur!”

“Wow, did the host really find a dinosaur fossil with his fengshui skills?” “Am I blind? You call this a dinosaur fossil?”

Luo Feng spoke, “We have been searching this hillside for 20 days now. I have been looking for this place from the beginning, and the hominid site we found was just a coincidence along the way! This is a very typical Mesozoic rock layer, and it seems that I’m lucky. There must be dinosaur fossils here!”

Although there were six or seven thousand treasure markers, Luo Feng knew that many of them were just trace fossils. Trace fossils, such as dinosaur footprints, could be cut out like murals and would be valuable. However, they were not as valuable as actual dinosaur fossils.

Carrying his pickaxe, Luo Feng followed the footprints and moved forward. There were more claw prints, mostly large ones with few small ones.

“Judging by these footprints, they should belong to the Weishan

Beipiaosaurus!” “There’s more here!”

After walking a few hundred meters, Luo Feng estimated that there were traces of at least three types of dinosaurs in the area. His discovery attracted the attention of scientists and professors from home and abroad, who also began to watch his livestream.

Not only the wealthy second generation heirs and onlookers were watching Luo Feng’s livestream, but also respected scientists. So, who said that only poor students watched livestreams? Even doctors and professors watched them too!

Archaeologists usually did not actively search for ancient tombs, but they did strive to explore prehistoric creatures’ remains. However, despite their efforts, dinosaur fossils remained rare on Earth.

One analysis suggested that for every several million Tyrannosaurus Rex, only one fossil would be left behind. The Paleontology Statistics Bureau estimated that there were 2.5 billion T-Rex roaming the Earth at one point, but only 32 T-Rex fossils have been discovered.

“Indeed, this is a Mesozoic rock layer!”

“I remember our geological team went to this place, but we only looked around the vicinity and didn’t find the hillside!”

“Claw prints! They must belong to dinosaurs!”

When the professors and scientists saw Luo Feng discovering dinosaur traces, their eyes lit up with excitement. They were envious of his discovery.

So far, no T-Rex fossils had been unearthed in China. Of the 32 found worldwide, none were discovered within the country. This led many scientists to believe that the T-Rex did not inhabit ancient China.

At this moment, Luo Feng’s phone was bombarded with calls from museums, wealthy individuals, and others. After answering a few calls, he switched his phone to silent mode and continued his search. The hillside’s surface, once the grass was pulled away, revealed numerous claw print traces.

Digging out such rocks would undoubtedly be laborious and time-consuming, but Luo Feng was undeterred. He slowly excavated along the edges, and as he worked, the geological team rushed over, having contacted Luo Feng through the platform’s management, offering to help with the excavation for free.

Luo Feng, of course, did not refuse. With such a large area of rock to excavate, it would take a long time to complete without assistance.

The sound of chipping away at the rock layer was entirely different from digging through soil. Everyone worried that Luo Feng’s hands might be injured from the vibrations. However, they need not have worried; the Swallowtail Hoe would not cause any discomfort to him, after all.

As he continued digging, Luo Feng unearthed a thick bone fossil about thirty centimeters long.

[ Ding! You’ve found a fossil! ]

[ Period: Early Cretaceous! ]

[ Value: 5-5 million yuan! ]

“Wow! A fossil from the Early Cretaceous period?” Luo Feng exclaimed, continuing the excavation and pondering what kind of dinosaur it could be.

Before he could think further, he found another fossil..
