Boluochia

Naam beteken: “named after the fossil site Boluochi”5

Boluochia was a small, toothed bird that lived during the time of the dinosaurs. It had a long snout and strong feet for perching on branches. Scientists once thought it had a hooked beak like a hawk, but now they think it had a normal, toothed beak.1

Prettige feite

Boluochia lived about 120 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period.1

The only known fossil of Boluochia is very poorly preserved, making it hard to study.1

Boluochia is part of a group called enantiornithes, which were the most common birds during the Cretaceous.1

Its fourth toe was separated from the others, which might have helped it grip branches differently.1

Boluochia is very similar to another bird called Longipteryx, and some scientists think it might be a juvenile Longipteryx.1

KI-prent van Boluochia — 'n KI-prent van hoe Boluochia dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.

Mite-breker

Mite: Boluochia had a hooked, raptor-like beak for tearing meat.

Waarheid: The fossil is badly preserved, and later studies show it likely had a long, toothed snout like other longipterygid birds.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Boluochia
Benoem deur: Zhou 19955
Groep: Vroeë voëls
Familie / klade: Longipterygidae5
Klassifikasie: Theropoda > Avialae5
Ouderdom van die rotse: 121 tot 113 miljoen jaar (Aptian)5
Rotsformasies: Jiufotang5
Lande: China5
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database5
Ontdekking: Boluochia was named by Chinese paleontologist Zhou Zhonghe in 1995 based on a single fossil from the Jiufotang Formation in Liaoning, China.5 1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure if Boluochia is a separate species or just a young Longipteryx, because the only fossil is so poorly preserved.1
