Although the people on the shore did not react slowly, many of the fragments still drifted away.
They had to tear off the two baskets and make a filter to cover the remaining slags, and pack up the small things in the water piece by piece, and drain them on the cloth spread out on the shore.
With a few fragments that were slightly larger, but less than half a palm, Coop finally found some barely recognizable features.
There is no doubt that these fragments are indeed bones.
At least Kupp couldn't think of anything that could have such a standard dense surface, loose internal structure, and partially retained joint surfaces because of their relatively strongness.
For laymen, this is some messy waste that is ready to take back and hand in hand, but for an older introductory medical student who is tangled with the anatomy student and is hard to part with, it is more like a puzzle that looks particularly challenging.
As salvage results become more, many fragments of affluent volume have been spread on the cloth. From an introductory perspective, at least it has not deviated from the cognitive scope, and it is enough to speculate on the general part.
Thinking of this, he sat down aside and tried to sort the bone pieces, speculating whether this thing was the target or whether it was simply a coincidence that he was crushed under the stone.
In terms of overall shape, one type of the broken bones that have been salvaged currently accounts for a considerable proportion.
They are severely broken, but they can be seen from the cross-section, with a few slightly longer and a little curvature.
After tossing and turning for a while, I finally found a shallow longitudinal groove on a certain intact side, which was basically parallel to the direction of the bone.
This inconspicuous shallow groove has been proposed to focus on the explanation. It is located at the lower edge of the ribs and houses blood vessels and certain important structures, which determines that the needle can only be inserted along the upper edge during the thoracic cavity.
Kupp reached out and swept the separated flat bones into a pile, and most of the space was instantly spaced out on the cloth.
If it is indeed a rib, normal people are absolutely incapable and there is no need to restore the dozens of things that are extremely similar in shape and are broken into small pieces. Just know what they are.
"That's so bad luck?"
What luck is required to be precisely hit by such a large rockfall, and it hits the chest.
But then again, it is a bad thing to smash a small stone, and the injury is relatively serious; it is a good thing to smash a large stone, and the pain is relatively short.
The chest cavity is probably the "second best" behind the head, and it must have ended in a few seconds.
As he was thinking, the monks picked up more broken bones. Looking at the blocky appearance, it was easier to guess than the ribs, and it was probably a few sections in the spine.
With both ribs and spine, the body shape of the creature can be outlined.
Even with errors, Kupp was quite sure that he could conclude that it should be something about the same size as a human being, and it could even be said...
【It's human】
There is reason to suspect that it is because of the prejudice caused by only learning "Human Body Structure". After all, this bone is too light, so light that it seems like a gust of slightly larger wind can be blown away, which is not in line with the previous impression.
He picked up every piece of bone to weigh it, and his hand, who was used to fine operation, accurately reflected the weight of too lightness.
From the cross-section, the bone density on the surface is thinner, and the bone cancellous inside is filled with complete. If you look closely, you will find that the interweaving trabecula is sparse in density, but the growth arrangement is more regular.
If the inside of ordinary bones is compared to a sponge, then the inside of these broken bones is like dry loofah, a three-dimensional meridian network with geometric patterns, forming a loose and elastic new structure.
It is not as hard as ordinary bones, but its flexibility is definitely better.
This may also explain why there are fragments that can be distinguished after being hit.
Coop tried to summon his fellow disciples to join the puzzle, but Yvonne did not respond and just tried silently, rather than turn over all the stones larger than people in the stream than take over.
The mental labor still fell on one person's head. Kupu sat down with his fate and began to compare one by one.
When I was immersed in work, time always passed by unknowingly. The mud and sand settled, all the visible remains were sieved, and the bones on the cloth finally formed a rough outline.
Fortunately, I didn't find any more bone pieces, which would save me from adding more difficulty to the already huge workload of puzzle work.
The results are still incomplete, but it is enough for Kupp to confirm his guess - half of the thoracic skeleton.
It includes the ribs that mainly come from the right half, the shoulder blades that are broken into more than a dozen pieces, and a humeral head. The unpressed part probably drifted away with the water after the soft tissue decomposed.
It has to be admitted that even laymen who lack professional knowledge seem to be clearly the skeleton of human beings.
"Smashed?" This is the only explanation that Coup can think of.
An unfortunate deceased fell into the valley when the tower collapsed, and was pressed by the large pieces of stone that rolled down later, becoming what it is now.
But I felt something was wrong. I looked up and the steep cliff line on the top of the mountain was a horizontal distance from their location, and was separated by a small and sloping grove due to poor lighting and a gravel beach on the shore.
It should be discovered directly below the cliff.
With his arms pillowed, he lay down beside the bone-breaking puzzle, allowing the treetops and gray clouds to occupy all the field of view, looking up at the same sky at the same angle. Perhaps this is the last frozen scene in the deceased's pupils.
He imagined the scene at that time. What made this literally skeleton-surprised unlucky guy lie in the stream, and then the boulder rolled down and pressed on him in a perfect way.
But no matter how you gesture, it seems a bit bad, and it is impossible to make the imagined scene coincide with the bone fracture method seen by reality.
Several monks were still rummaging through the puddle, carefully cutting the bottom mud with their hands to find possible clues.
They seemed to be looking for something again. After a brief discussion, there was a series of close sounds of water flowing, and a reflection of something flashing between the dark spots broke into the field of view.
Coop raised his hands conditionedly and prepared to take it.
However, the movement suddenly stopped. Something was triggered by accident, as if a certain bone was pressed into the correct joint, tightly fitting the seams, and the starting, bearing, turning and turning freely.
He felt his movements, stretched out his arms on his back, as if he was hugging something.
By the way...
【Hold】
A picture flashed by. The field of vision was uncontrollable in the gray, dim chaos, and the ground was missing. There was something waiting above, and the weightless body chose to hold on to the heaviest thing recently, and then fell into the abyss, and even the fear of death could not let go of both hands.
He suddenly hit and sat up from the ground, stinging with the despair he felt.
Some memories are awakened, emitting an unsettling milky white light. The completely different scenes, but the feelings are so similar.
The monk took the initiative to hand over the small reflective object, but what was unexpected was not a weird thing.
It is just that the Holy Emblem should be made of silver, the ring part is insufficient for material and is severely deformed under pressure. The two pieces have a wingspan that are too slender and wide in proportion.
