Scientists have unearthed in Fujian province the fossil of a Jurassic Period dinosaur. Read more at straitstimes.com.
BEIJING - About 148 to 150 million years ago, a strange pheasant-sized and bird-like dinosaur with elongated legs and arms built much like wings inhabited south-eastern China, with a puzzling anatomy suggesting it either was a fast runner or lived a lifestyle like a modern wading bird.
Asked for a word to describe Fujianvenator, Mr Wang replied, “I would say ‘bizarre’. Fujianvenator is far from similar to any modern birds.” The Fujianvenator fossil, discovered last October, is fairly complete but lacks the animal's skull and parts of its feet, making it hard to interpret its diet and lifestyle.
"The fossil itself does not preserve feathers. However, its closest relatives and nearly all the known avialan theropods have feathers, and feathers are widely distributed among dinosaurs. Therefore, it would not be a surprise if Fujianvenator had feathers," Mr Wang added.
