Fujianvenator

Fujianvenator is an anchiornithid avialan from the Late Jurassic of China, whose discovery gave important insight to the evolution of birds. It had proportionately long legs, with the tibia twice the length of the femur. This suggests it may have been a strong runner, and possibly had a terrestrial or wading lifestyle. Fujianvenator was a small dinosaur, weighing about 640 g. As an avialan, it was almost certainly covered in feathers, though it does not seem likely to have been capable of flight.

"One hundred and fifty million years ago, a young, bantam-sized, bird-like dinosaur became mired in a swamp in what is now southeastern China, and succumbed. Its fossilized remains, unearthed in 2022 and named Fujianvenator prodigiosus, show it to be one of the earliest bird-like dinosaurs to date from the Jurassic period. The researchers describe their discovery in a paper published today in Nature. “This is really a weird animal within the group of birds,” says Mark Loewen, a palaeontologist at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, who was not involved in the discovery. The creature had oddly lanky legs and might have lacked the ability to fly. It also doesn't seem to conform to the accepted bird-evolution story. Although dinosaurs were largely extinct by 66 million years ago, therapods, the three-clawed, hollow-boned group that included Velociraptor and Tyrannosaurus rex, had started to evolve into today’s birds. Many palaeontologists consider the first bird to be a 150-million-year-old feathered dinosaur called Archaeopteryx, fossils of which were found in Germany. But this study adds to mounting evidence that by the time of Archaeopteryx, dinosaurs had already diversified into different kinds of birds, Loewen says. Hailu You, a palaeontologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and one of the co-authors of the paper, says that in the Jurassic, bird-like dinosaurs might have been occupying different ecological niches. “Early bird evolution is complicated,” he says. Fujianvenator’s fossil lacks a head or a complete tail, but its body and limbs show a medley of traits similar to those of other bird-like dinosaurs, such as the relative lengths of the fingers, and details of the pelvis and vertebrae. But it didn’t have many modifications that would contribute to flight."

Fujianvenator prodigiosus Xu et al., 2023 (new genus and species)

(Type specimen of Fujianvenator prodigiosus [scale bars = 20 mm], from Xu et al., 2023)

Meaning of name: Fujianvenator = Fujian hunter [in Latin]; prodigiosus = bizarre [in Latin]

Age: Late Jurassic (Tithonian), 149.9–150.2 million years ago

Where found: Nanyuan Formation, Fujian, China

How much is known: Partial skeleton of one individual including most of the trunk and limbs.

Notes: Fujianvenator was an early avialan, a group of mostly flight-capable theropod dinosaurs that also contains modern birds. Most members of this group, including modern birds, have short tails, but like other Jurassic avialans, such as Archaeopteryx and Anchiornis, Fujianvenator retained the ancestrally long tail found in most other dinosaurs. It had unusually long lower legs and feet for its size, not just for an avialan but for a theropod of any kind, which may suggest specialization towards a running or wading lifestyle.

In addition to being a newly named dinosaur, Fujianvenator comes from a newly discovered fossil site, from which over 100 reptile fossils have been uncovered so far. Given that well-preserved fossils of Jurassic avialans are only known from a few localities worldwide, this new site has the potential to become a valuable resource for understanding the early diversity and evolution of these theropods.

for da horror recs: in my mothers skin 2023! its a folk horror period film abt a girl who strikes a deal w a flesh eating fairy to heal her ill mother. it was screened at sundance i think? so it should be available with subs somewhere:}

another-tho idk how easy itll be to find online (let alone with subtitles)-but the shake rattle and roll anthology series of films has long been ongoing and its many pinoy kids first experience with horror HAHA

OHHHH FUCK IM WRITING THAT DOWN THAT SOUNDS REALLY FUCKING COOL THANK YOUUUUUUUU

I love this new guy! I don't think it really makes us "rethink bird evolution", that's just sensationalist headlines, but it is really cool and important for understanding those early Paravians

오르도비스기 시대(4억 8,830만 년에서 4억 4,370만 년 전)의 턱 없는 물고기는 갑옷을 입은 피부를 따라 도배라고 불리며, 이들 중 대부분은 외부 갑옷만 보존한 화석으로 알려져 있다고 Dearden은 말했습니다.

Dearden은 “그들의 머리 안쪽에 대해 우리가 알고 있는 모든 것은 기본적으로 그 갑옷을 기반으로 하여 만들어졌습니다.”라고 설명했습니다. “이 외부 갑옷에 눈 구멍이 보이고, 눈이 두개골에 있는 곳이라고 가정합니다. 새콤달콤 캐치티니핑 시즌4 다운로드 1화~26화 하지만 우리는 그 안에 무엇이 있는지 실제로 아무것도 모릅니다.”

연구 저자들은 표본에서 10개의 연골 두개골 조각을 확인했습니다. 그 중 6개는 에폭시에 있고 4개는 암석 기질에 있었습니다. 비늘이 그 주위를 감싸고 있으며, 감각이나 혈관 구조를 유지하고 있는 관이 연골을 관통하고 있습니다.

화석에서 볼 수 있는 운하의 목적과 모든 연골이 물고기의 두개골 앞쪽에 집중되어 있는 것처럼 보이는 이유와 같은 두개골 진화에 대한 질문은 여전히 남아 있습니다. Dearden은 이 표본에는 보존되지 않은 머리 뒤쪽에 더 많은 연골이 있을 가능성이 있다고 말했습니다.

물고기에 턱이 처음 나타났던 시기도 아직 불분명하다고 그는 덧붙였습니다.

“이러한 격차는 턱이 있는 물고기의 오르도비스기 조상이 상대적으로 드물고 대부분 매우 얕은 바다에만 국한되어 있었기 때문에 부분적으로 발생했습니다. 해양 생물 다양성의 기원을 연구하고 이번 연구에는 참여하지 않은 살란(Sallan)은 죽은 후 에립티키우스(Eriptychius)를 포함한 초기 물고기의 잔해는 대개 파도에 의해 파괴되었으며 우리는 주로 조각을 발견했습니다.
