: 135 Sea 0 Fossil

Below 1000 meters is the operating range of professional deep submersibles.
1500+ meters is already the deep sea, and the color of the sea water is dark. At this water depth, there are no large creatures such as whales and sharks.
Chen Rui sneaked into the ocean floor.
The water is not deep, about 3 or 40 meters.
The light level is sufficient, the sea water is particularly clear, and the sea floor is bright.
The tropical coral reef landscape at the bottom of the sea is no worse than the landscape on land.
The plants on the sea floor are rich and colorful, and their colors are also diverse. There are purple, green, and brown .... In terms of morphology, there are various forms and different ecological characteristics.
In terms of species, there are also many types, the most common types of which are laver, chicken feather algae, stone cauliflower, red hair algae, hyssop noodles, amaranth and so on.
In addition to plants, the animals are also very strange, with colorful tropical marine fishes swimming.
The flounder swims across the sea, like falling leaves floating in the wind.
Sea urchins perched in seaweed-rich reef forests or in rocky seams, wearing brown needle felts and weird shapes. When encountering foreign enemies, they desperately drilled into reef woods and stone seams.
Turtles are swimming.
Sea cucumber crawls by stretching muscles and can only advance four meters per hour.
Squid and octopus can suddenly spray water forward and use the reverse thrust of water to quickly retreat.
...
This is a colorful world under the sea, which is colorful under the refraction of the sun's rays.
At this time, a sea snake swam past Chen Rui.
The sea snake is nearly 1 meter long. The head is long and narrow, the kiss is long, and the back is black. The abdomen is bright yellow and the tail has yellow spots.
Chen Rui recognizes that this is a long-nose sea snake, which is distributed in all tropical seas in the world. It is highly toxic and can secrete neurotoxins, which is fatal.
In fact, most of the species of sea snakes that live in the sea are highly toxic. It is far more toxic than terrestrial snake venom.
Although, the long-nose sea snake poses no threat to Chen Ruigou.
But Chen Rui was careful not to provoke it.
Chen Rui stood still on the bottom of the sea. Wait for the sea snake to swim by.
When the sea snake gradually went away, Chen Rui moved on.
Walking on the sea floor.
Along the way, Chen Rui found many kinds of shame in the sea.
For example, not far from Chen Rui. A sea cucumber lying quietly on the reef, like a cucumber, is covered with a brown coat, and the back of the body is covered with large and small conical spines.
Although sea cucumbers are like big bugs, they look a little disgusting.
However, it is a very precious treasure in the sea. It is not only a delicious dish on the table, but also a nutritious tonic, which enhances physical fitness. It has good effects in preventing diseases and prolonging life.
It is called 'ginseng' in the sea.
There is a saying in the folk that ‘ginseng’ is the best supplement on the mountain, and ‘sea cucumber’ is the best supplement on the sea.
Chen Rui caught a few sea cucumbers. Into the pregnant sea pearl space.
In addition to sea cucumbers, some big lobsters and sea crabs have also been caught.
The big lobster is very large and weighs a few pounds. One is enough for Chen Rui to eat.
The ocean is a huge treasure trove of humankind, and this is true.
The ocean is rich in biological resources.
Edible aquatic resources without disrupting the ecological balance. More than 3 billion tons can be developed every year.
All mineral resources found on land are found under the sea.
The copper deposits on the ocean floor alone are enough for the world for 6,000 years. Nickel lasts for 150,000 years and aluminum lasts 20,000 years.
If all the salt contained in the ocean can be refined and used to lay it on the ground, the ground will rise by nearly 100 meters.
There is also the energy of ocean current, wave energy, and temperature difference of seawater, which are called
blue coal sea
.
Chen Rui continued on the sea floor.
Suddenly, Chen Rui froze.
Chen Rui was tripped over by something.
Chen Rui looked back, and it turned out to be a rock.
The rocks are soft.
Chen Rui kicked off a rock about the size of a pot lid from the rock.
A shedding surface emerged from the rock.
When Chen Rui turned his head, he unconsciously swiped the falling surface of the rock with the light of his eyes.
This look immediately shocked Chen Rui.
"This is ... the sea lily fossil." Chen Rui exclaimed, walked forward quickly, squatted down, wiped off the gravel on the rock, and examined it carefully.
Chen Rui saw some exquisite patterns on the rock's falling surface, with roots, stems, and crowns. The stems were ring-shaped, of varying lengths, up to several meters in length. The pattern resembled a natural lily flower, lifelike. .
Chen Rui once saw a sea lily fossil at the Yanjing Museum of Natural History, which is very similar to the pattern on the rock shedding surface in front of her.
Chen Rui can be sure that the pattern on the detached surface of the rock in front of him is the 'sea lily fossil'.
Many people see the name 'Sea Lily' as a plant.
In fact, sea lily is a kind of echinoderm that belongs to the same category as sea cucumber and sea urchin. It grew 450 million years ago, 200 million years before the dinosaur era. It is the earliest creature in history, but because the shape is exactly like a blooming lily, In addition to the open flower buds, there are also quite tall rhizomes. Therefore, it was given a very appropriate name-sea lily.
These sea lily fossils are very valuable.
It has a very high scientific and archeological value. Through it, people can see the internal structure of sea lilies, which provides extremely valuable data for the study of the evolution of sea lilies. It truly reproduces the vicissitudes of the evolution of nature and outlines the prehistoric ocean and Wonderful landscape of marine life.
Its artistic value is also not low.
Sea lilies have extremely strict requirements for the environment in which they live, and they are extremely rare and precious to become complete fossils.
Called national treasure.
In 2006, a piece of sea lily fossil with a length of 2 meters and a width of 1.2 meters was sold for 12 million yuan.
A piece of sea lily fossil with a height of 3.2 meters and a width of 2.6 meters is used as the treasure of the town hall, with a value of 80 million yuan.
Chen Rui Rock was retracted into the pregnant sea pearl space.
Chen Rui also entered the pregnant Haizhu space.
Take a closer look at the sea lily fossils on the rocks.
Carefully peel off the rock formation.
What he saw made Chen Rui even more shocked. UU Reading Books www.uukanshu.com
The sea lily fossil that Chen Rui saw was not one, but one piece.
Chen Rui counted it, there were 17 numbers.
Each feature is clear, well-preserved, flowers are large, and the crystals are very bright.
With a total area of ​​hundreds of square meters, it is the largest in the world.
These sea lily fossil patterns appear on the rocks and come to life, just like a lily flower under the pen of a Chinese painting master, blooming gorgeously.
"It's a natural and artful work of art." Chen Rui said with awe.
Looking at these sea lily fossils, Chen Rui guessed in his heart.
About 200 million to 300 million years ago, the climate of this sea area is warm, the sea water is blue, crystal clear, and beautiful sea lilies grow everywhere. Because there are no natural enemies, the number of creatures is increasing, and the remains of sea lilies and animals are constantly Buried in the sand and deposited on the ocean floor, it becomes a precious fossil.
