Prettige feite

Dapingfangornis had a unique thorn-like process on its nasal bones, which has not been found in any other known fossil bird.1

It is one of the earliest known enantiornithine birds with well-preserved ornamental tail feathers.2

Its sternum (breastbone) had one long and one short lateral process, which is different from other early birds.1

The fossil was found in Dapingfang Town, which is why it got its name.1

Scientists used CT scanning to see new details of its skull and skeleton that were hidden by rock.2

It lived during the Aptian age, about 121 to 113 million years ago, alongside many other early birds.3

KI-prent van Dapingfangornis — 'n KI-prent van hoe Dapingfangornis 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: Some people think all birds with teeth are not dinosaurs.

Waarheid: Dapingfangornis is a dinosaur, specifically a type of avialan dinosaur, and it had a beak-like mouth, not teeth.3

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Dapingfangornis
Benoem deur: Li et al. 20064
Groep: Vroeë voëls
Familie / klade: Eoenantiornithidae4
Klassifikasie: Theropoda > Avialae4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 121 tot 113 miljoen jaar (Aptian)4
Rotsformasies: Jiufotang4
Lande: China4
Fossielrekords: 2 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: It was first named by Li et al. in 2006 based on a complete skeleton with a skull found in the Jiufotang Formation in western Liaoning, China.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are still debating exactly where Dapingfangornis sits in the bird family tree, as new studies suggest it may belong to a previously unrecognized group of early enantiornithines.2
