酷東西

趣味知識

Neimengornis had a long tail made of about 28 separate bones, which is unusual for early birds.2

Its name means 'straight minor metacarpal' because one of its hand bones was unusually straight.1

This animal lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 121 to 113 million years ago.3

Only one fossil of Neimengornis has been found, and it is kept at the Inner Mongolia Natural History Museum.1

Neimengornis belonged to a group called jeholornithiforms, which were early bird-like dinosaurs with long tails.2
