Prehistoric Dinosaur Bird Fossils Found in China Are Amazingly Detailed
The Smithsonian Channel has just posted a glimpse of the cornucopia of prehistoric bird fossils embedded in the lush Liaoning Province of China. And the sight is jaw-dropping. Liaoning, which is a day’s drive from Beijing, is home to countless well-preserved feathered dinosaur fossils. And they show how many strange fits and starts life went through as it transformed from dinosaur into bird.
In the video, Jingmai O’Connor, a professor at the Beijing Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, offers an overview of Liaoning’s bird fossils. The professor notes that there’s a massive array of prehistoric avian species at the site. Their fossils are so well-intact, they sometimes even still have some soft tissues.
