Yayitya: InyamaIintaka zokuqalaiCretaceous yokuqala

Tianyuornis was a small, feathered bird that lived about 125 million years ago, during the time of the dinosaurs. It had long legs and probably ran around on the ground, using its wings for balance or short flights.1 3

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Tianyuornis had teeth in both its upper and lower jaws, which is unusual for birds and helped scientists confirm that some ancient birds still had teeth.1 2

Its lower jaw (dentary) was straight, while other similar birds had a curved, S-shaped jaw. This unique feature helped scientists identify it as a new species.1 2

Tianyuornis was about the size of a modern phoebe, a small songbird, making it quite tiny compared to many dinosaurs.1

It had long hindlimbs (legs) compared to its forelimbs (wings), which suggests it was a good runner.1 2

The only known fossil is a nearly complete and articulated skeleton of a subadult, meaning it was not fully grown when it died.1 2

Tianyuornis lived in a lake environment, and its fossils were found in lake deposits.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Tianyuornis — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Tianyuornis esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Tianyuornis
Inikwe igama ngu:: Zheng et al. 20143
Iqela: Iintaka zokuqala
Usapho / iclade: Hongshanornithidae3
Ukuhlelwa: Theropoda > Avialae3
Ubudala bamatye: 126 ukuya ku-121 izigidi zeminyaka (Barremian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Yixian3
Amazwe: iTshayina3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Tianyuornis was named by Zheng Xiaoting and colleagues in 2014, based on a nearly complete skeleton found in the Yixian Formation in Inner Mongolia, China.1 3
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists debate whether all members of the Hongshanornithidae family, which includes Tianyuornis, had teeth, but this new fossil helps confirm that they did.2
