酷東西

趣味知識

Similiyanornis is known from a nearly complete skeleton with feathers preserved. This gives scientists a great look at what it looked like.1

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

Similiyanornis belongs to a group of birds called Yanornithidae. These birds are some of the earliest known birds that ate fish.2

Its name means 'similar to Yanornis' because it looks a lot like its relative Yanornis.1

The only known species is Similiyanornis brevipectus. The species name 'brevipectus' means 'short chest'.1

發現: Similiyanornis was named and described in 2020 by scientists Min Wang, Zhiheng Li, Qingguo Liu, and Zhonghe Zhou. They studied a complete skeleton found in the Jiufotang Formation of China.3 1
仍有爭議: Scientists are still debating exactly how Similiyanornis is related to other early birds. More fossils might help settle this.2
