Dingavis

Naam beteken: “Ding's bird, named after Ding Wenjiang, the 'Father of Chinese Geology'”1

Dingavis was a small, feathered dinosaur that lived about 122 million years ago in what is now China. It had a long beak and probably ran around on the ground looking for food.1 4

Prettige feite

Dingavis had a very long beak, and most of that beak was made from the upper jaw bone called the maxilla, not the premaxilla like in modern birds.2

The only known fossil of Dingavis is an almost complete skeleton with skull, and it even has feather remains preserved around the neck.1

About forty gastroliths, which are stones that some animals swallow to help grind food, were found with the Dingavis fossil.1

Dingavis lived during the Aptian age of the Early Cretaceous, about 122 million years ago.1

The fossil of Dingavis was found in the Jiufotang Formation, a rock layer famous for many amazing feathered dinosaur fossils.4 2

KI-prent van Dingavis — 'n KI-prent van hoe Dingavis 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.

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Dingavis
Benoem deur: O'Connor et al. 20164
Groep: Vroeë voëls
Familie / klade: Ornithuromorpha4
Klassifikasie: Theropoda > Avialae4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 121 tot 113 miljoen jaar (Aptian)4
Rotsformasies: Jiufotang4
Lande: China4
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: The Dingavis fossil was found at Sihedang in Liaoning, China, and was named in 2015 by Jingmai O'Connor, Wang Min, and Hu Han. The specimen is kept at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are still debating exactly how Dingavis is related to other early birds, and whether its long beak was used for a special kind of feeding.2
