"It turned out to be Chinese ancient fruit, it seems that I admit it correctly." Su Jing laughed, he also checked the information before, but he was not sure.
Looking at Su Jing's heartlessness, Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian couldn't help but want to strangle him. Does your kid know how shocking this plant he took out is? Of course, they are also excited. Because this ancient Chinese fruit is so valuable.
Chinese ancient fruit, the "earliest flower in the world" that bloomed 145 million years ago in western Liaoning, China, is a legend in the paleontology and archaeology circles.
Chinese ancient fruit fossils were discovered by Sun Ge and Ji Qiang and the others in the Lingyuan area of western Liaoning in 2000. Scientists have established this now extinct group of angiosperms as a new family of early angiosperms-"Ancient fruit family". Studies have shown that Chinese ancient fruits are probably the ancestors of all flowers, fruits and grains in the world today.
This major discovery is a new breakthrough in the global research on the origin and early evolution of angiosperms. The United States "Science" magazine published on May 7, 2002, with the important position of the cover article, published the paper of the leading scientist of this achievement, Professor Sun Ge of Jilin University and Researcher and the others of China Geological College Ji Qiang.
The angiosperms of Chinese ancient fruit are more amazing than their times. According to the traditional theory of botany, angiosperms evolved from a type of shrub similar to the existing magnolia plants, however, , Chinese ancient fruit is a small, delicate aquatic plant, more like a herbaceous plant.
In August 2003, another group of international research teams published another possible explanation for Chinese ancient fruits in the journal "New Trends in Botany", which believed that Chinese ancient fruits were very likely to be completely immersed in water to grow. In addition, using different classification features to analyze the pedigrees obtained, the position of Chinese ancient fruits in the pedigree has become ambiguous, which is not as the basis of the flowering plant pedigree as the first group of research team thinks, so they ca n’t help but ask: Is ancient fruit, the ancestor of flowering plants, or just a special early flowering plant? "
According to the Science and Technology Daily, the US magazine "Discovery" introduced the result under the title of "The Earliest Flower Fragrance", saying that Darwin's angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, suddenly appeared in the mid-late Cretaceous period (about 100 million years ago) Years to 65 million years), which appeared in large numbers and could not find their ancestor groups and clues of early evolution, and was puzzled, called "nasty mystery".
Now it is no longer a fossil, but there is such a living Chinese ancient fruit in front of us. Everything is completely different. The "hate mystery" is likely to be solved.
The origin of human beings and the origin of species have always been the subject of our research, because this is related to the evolution of human beings and species, and to the future of human beings.
"Great, with this living ancient Chinese fruit, you do n’t have to guess based on fossils anymore. Maybe many unsolved mysteries will be solved," Ye Bo said excitedly.
"This should also be of great help in archaeology." Zhou Xixian said.
"What do you mean, this is obviously paleontology, and I should definitely bring me back to the paleontology graduate student, you don't have to blend it blindly." Ye Bo said.
"This is related to the ancient environment of 100 million years ago, archaeology and archaeology, of course, it has a lot to do with me." Zhou Xixian stared.
Unexpectedly, the two quarreled again, leaving Su Jing and several assistants helpless. But I also know that they fight back to fight, but generally nothing happens. In fact, several assistants are also very excited to be able to witness a creature more than 100 million years ago. How amazing is this? When this news spreads, it will inevitably cause a sensation in the whole country and the world, because this is a worldwide breakthrough and a miracle.
In the end, Su Jing saw that they were arguing and could not stand still, and took out another Chinese ancient fruit, one per person, they stopped the quarrel.
The last time they fought for spider fossils, Su Jing was sold to them in the form of an auction, but this time it was given to them for free for research. Because of this amount of money, Su Jing is not too concerned about it now. Sorry. He is more concerned about being able to study something, bring a lot of good sensation and impact on the earth, and obtain recovery.
"A'Jing, where did you get so many extinct animals, and this ancient Chinese fruit, it stands to reason that it can't survive." Ye Bo couldn't help asking.
"Oh, nothing is impossible, the world is as big as it is, and the facts are in front of you, do you still believe it? In addition to this plant, there are several other plants, do you want to see it too." Su Jing said This is a deliberate disagreement.
"Also?" Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian both glared.
"Yes." Su Jing nodded.
"Of course it depends, take it out soon." Erlao and several assistants were excited.
Su Jing went into the house again. This time I moved a few plants at once, all small plants planted in flower pots. Their shape is very special.
"Hey, this is not ..." A young man pointed at one of the plants, and seemed to remember something, but he couldn't name it all at once.
"Sun Moon Lake sheep ear garlic!" another young man whispered.
"Huh?" Ye Bo showed a surprised look, stared at it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Xiaowu, you read that right, this is indeed the Sun Moon Lake Sheep Garlic."
I saw that the plant they called Sun Moon Lake Sheep Ear Garlic, pseudobulb-ovate, the leaves are linear or linear lanceolate, 16-30 cm long and only 1-1.5 cm wide. Racemes terminal, upper sepals and petals linear, about 9 mm long, lip petals ovate oval.
"What is sheep ear garlic in Sun Moon Lake?" Zhou Xixian wondered.
"Hey, you do n’t know this." Ye Bo smiled and explained, "This is a unique species in Taiwan. It is only distributed on Lalu Island in the Sun Moon Lake area of Nantou. The altitude is about 750m. In Mingtan After the construction of the reservoir, its habitat was severely damaged. At present, it has been over 70 years and there is no follow-up discovery record. It is likely to be completely extinct. "
"That is to say, it is another extinct species. Thanks to what you said so easily, it seems to be sparse and normal." Zhou Xixian said.
Ye Bo and the young man who just recognized were both stunned. Yes, this is an extinct species. Although it has only been extinct for 70 years, it is an extinct species anyway. How rare is it, but how calm it is. There seems to be nothing surprising. It seems that today I have seen too many extinct species, and they are already a bit numb. I can only blame Su Jing.
They didn't think much about it. They looked closely at several other plants. If they looked closely, at first glance, none of them could be recognized.
