内蒙古鄂托克旗查布地区恐爪龙类足迹的发现及其意义 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
内蒙古查布地区下白垩统中保存大量的兽脚类和蜥脚类恐龙足迹以及鸟类足迹化石,2014年再次对内蒙古鄂托克旗野外地质遗迹博物馆(8A和8B化石点)周边的地层进行系统考察,发现两个恐爪龙类恐龙(Deinonychosauria)的二趾型兽脚类足迹,这在鄂托克地区是首次发现。经对比研究,将其归入奔驰龙足迹属(Dromaeosauripus)。与奔驰龙足迹一起发现的还有其他两种兽脚类足迹(Asianopodus robustus和Grallator),反映了恐爪龙类恐龙的生活习性。此类足迹的发现不仅填补了内蒙驰龙足迹(Dromaeopodidae)的空白,增加了世界二趾型足迹的记录,也为鄂托克地区古生态与地层对比提供了素材。 相似文献

A new feathered maniraptoran dinosaur fossil that fills a morphological gap in avian origin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Recent fossil discoveries have substantially reduced the morphological gap between non-avian and avian dinosaurs, yet avians
including Archaeopteryx differ from non-avian theropods in their limb proportions. In particular, avians have proportionally longer and more robust
forelimbs that are capable of supporting a large aerodynamic surface. Here we report on a new maniraptoran dinosaur, Anchiornis huxleyi gen. et sp. nov., based on a specimen collected from lacustrine deposits of uncertain age in western Liaoning, China. With
an estimated mass of 110 grams, Anchiornis is the smallest known non-avian theropod dinosaur. It exhibits some wrist features indicative of high mobility, presaging
the wing-folding mechanisms seen in more derived birds and suggesting rapid evolution of the carpus. Otherwise, Anchiornis is intermediate in general morphology between non-avian and avian dinosaurs, particularly with regard to relative forelimb
length and thickness, and represents a transitional step toward the avian condition. In contrast with some recent comprehensive
phylogenetic analyses, our phylogenetic analysis incorporates subtle morphological variations and recovers a conventional
result supporting the monophyly of Avialae.
