A remarkable event in the evolution of dinosaurs occurred when two-legged, small, feather-covered dinosaurs emerged. Comes from the Theropods lineage, giving birth to birds in the late Jurassic period. Which is the oldest known bird? Archeopteryx (Archaeopteryx) approximately 150 million years old, found in Germany.
However, our understanding of the earliest evolutionary history of Avialae, which covers all modern birds, remains unclear. It is often hampered by the diversity of fossils or fossils from the Jurassic period. But recently Scientists from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleontology of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed research on fossil remains of Jurassic dinosaurs found in China’s Fujian Province in October last year. Determined to be approximately 148-150 million years old, this dinosaur has a strange shape. Looks like a pheasant or like a bird with legs Its arms were long like wings. Lives in the southeastern part of China. Some anatomy suggests it was a whirlwind runner. Or spend their lives wading through the water like modern birds.
Scientists named this dinosaur. Fujianvenator prodigiosus, although the fossil remains are relatively complete. But there was no skull or feet. This makes it difficult to interpret its food and lifestyle. But it is believed that this dinosaur may shed light on an important stage in the evolution of birds.
