Chapter 49

He did not believe he was truly that unlucky.

He continued to operate the bucket to dig out the hard object from earlier and see what on earth it was.

Ten seconds later, a massive rock was flipped up from the mud.

Fang Yang let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew, that's a relief, it's just a rock."

The crowd, whose hearts had been hanging in their throats, also relaxed.

Only Yang Feng felt his palms sweating with tension; just a moment ago, that vague sense of foreboding in his heart had grown even more pronounced.

Even seeing the large rock flipped up now did nothing to diminish it.

Fang Yang looked at the rock on the ground; it was one meter long, half a meter wide, and twenty to thirty centimeters thick.

That last scoop had split the rock directly in half from the middle.

But this was very strange.

The rock had been lying flat in the mud; if it were to break, it should have split down the middle, not been cleaved in two across its thickness.

It looked as if it had split like two large pancakes.

Fang Yang controlled the bucket again to scoop up the rock, intending to dump it in another empty area.

As a result, he accidentally only scooped up half, while the other half fell off.

Suddenly!

The cameraman pointed at the rock and exclaimed!

"Brother... look, there seems to be something on that rock, it's round!"

Everyone present looked over with curiosity.

They saw a round object wedged in the middle of the rock, oval-shaped! About the size of a soccer ball.

Wu Ming was the first to walk up, unable to hold back: "What is this? It feels like a rock."

Yang Feng also touched it curiously: "The shape of this rock is too coincidental, how could it be wedged in the middle of the rock?"

The onlookers nearby joined the curious crowd one after another.

"Why does this shape look a bit like an egg?"

"It really does look like one, but this egg is way too big."

"Do you think it could be a gemstone?"

"Even if it's not a gemstone, it should be worth something."

Everyone craned their necks to observe, forming a circle.

Fang Yang also climbed down from the machine to see what on earth it was.

The moment he got close, the system panel suddenly popped up.

【Dinosaur Egg Fossil】

【Tyrannosaurus Rex Egg】

【60 Million Years Old】

【Value: 10 Million】

【Description: Oval-shaped, grayish-brown skin with black spots. The dead dinosaur turned into sediment with its own body, protecting its egg. Due to the sediment and the relatively hard, calcified shell of the dinosaur egg itself, the dinosaur egg fossil was formed...】

A large amount of information about the dinosaur egg fossil appeared on the system panel all at once.

Fang Yang took a brief look and crouched down to touch the fossil.

It looked very well preserved; the entire egg shape was very smooth, and it felt just like the texture of a rock.

Just as everyone was preparing to get tools to pry it off the rock, Fang Yang immediately intervened to stop them.

"Don't pry it! If I'm not mistaken, this should be a fossil!"

"A fossil?"

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....

——【Good grief, today is something else; he hasn't even finished digging a single scoop and he's already dug up something fresh.】

——【Aren't fossils usually embedded in rocks? How can there be a round one? Could it be a fossilized egg?】

——【I think it's unlikely. How could it be such a coincidence? Fossils are usually buried deep underground, formed by being covered in sedimentary rock. This is almost on the surface.】

——【After being slapped in the face a few times, I'm not going to criticize anymore. If it actually turns out to be a fossil, it'll be hilarious.】

——【Isn't he a tomb raider? How does he have research on fossils too! No matter how you look at it, it just looks like a round rock.】

The onlookers gasped in surprise!

Yang Feng curled his lip: "Fossils aren't that easy to come by, and in such a shallow place? I feel like it's probably a gemstone."

Although the others didn't understand, they generally agreed with his words.

Fang Yang ignored them and continued: "This isn't just a fossil, it's a dinosaur egg fossil! And it's highly likely to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex egg!"

Everyone was shocked!

"A dinosaur egg? This is a dinosaur egg? And a T-Rex one? Why does it feel like you're talking nonsense!"

"Impossible, this egg looks smaller than a soccer ball, and T-Rexes are huge!"

"Anyway, bragging isn't against the law, say whatever you want."

Wu Ming also looked at Fang Yang, puzzled: "Although I know you're very capable, saying it's a T-Rex fossil egg feels a bit absurd to me too."

Fang Yang smiled; he knew these people definitely wouldn't believe him.

If it were him, before the system gave him the answer, he wouldn't have believed it either.

But after carefully reading the system's introduction just now, he roughly knew how this egg was formed.

"Don't think that just because a T-Rex is big, its egg must be big. Take a chicken egg for example; every egg has egg white and yolk when it's first laid. If the weight is too great, the eggshell breaks easily."

"Generally, a dinosaur eggshell of 3 to 7 millimeters is considered very thick. If it were any thicker, air couldn't get in, and without sufficient oxygen, the baby dinosaur inside would die. Plus, it wouldn't be able to break out when hatching, so the egg can't be too big, otherwise, it wouldn't be able to grow."

"As for why I say this is a fossil, look, the color of this egg is so deep, embedded in the rock, and it's clearly not the same color as the surrounding stone. Plus, the egg is covered in obvious volcanic ash and other minerals."

"You might not understand these things, but if you don't believe me, it's best to call a paleontologist to identify it. If it really is a dinosaur fossil, it cannot be handled privately!"

The crowd was stunned by Fang Yang's analysis, but they could basically understand it. It was a bit of popular science; it turned out dinosaur eggs weren't as big as they had imagined.

——【Holy crap! He actually knows about fossils. Everything he said about the dinosaur egg is completely correct!】

——【Now, can someone tell me what he actually does? Could he be some immortal who has cultivated to perfection and achieved eternal youth?】

——【It's over, I feel like I'm being brainwashed by him. Why do I suddenly feel like that really is a dinosaur egg fossil?】

——【I still find it hard to believe. Digging up a dinosaur egg fossil in such a shallow place? Unless there was an earthquake or volcanic eruption here in the past.】

——【Sigh... watching him show off every day is exhausting. When will I be able to harvest the shock of the crowd like him?】

——【It doesn't look like one. This rock is too smooth. Last time I visited a museum, those dinosaur eggs were all weirdly shaped; I didn't see a single round one.】

The crowd looked at each other; they didn't know any paleontologists.

Fang Yang didn't know any either, but he could contact others.

He took out his phone and dialed Captain Wang's number.

"Hello! Captain Wang!"

"Did you dig up something again, kid? Are you calling the police again?"

"Hehe! I did dig up something, but I'm not calling the police this time. I dug up a rock that looks like a dinosaur egg fossil, and I want you to help me find a paleontologist to identify it!"

"Hiss~! I was just saying that, and you actually dug something up? Fine, I got it!"

(Please vote with flowers and evaluation tickets!).

40. Oh no! Dug into a brown bear's den!

After hanging up, Fang Yang suggested moving the large rock containing the fossil to the side so he could continue digging. ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
