Fossil named 'Attenborough's strange bird' was the first of its kind without teeth
No birds alive today have teeth. But that wasn't always the case; many early fossil birds had beaks full of sharp, tiny teeth. In a paper in the journal Cretaceous Research, scientists have described a new species of fossil bird that was the first of its kind to evolve toothlessness; its name, in honor of naturalist Sir David Attenborough, means "Attenborough's strange bird."
Julianne (Jules) KielyThat new #Jehol #stegosaur is little and podgy, so deserves to be drawn. Here it is snacking on some Ginkgo apodes, surrounded by a collection of ferns, bennettitaleans and the Early flower Leefructus. #FossilFriday #paleoart #paleobotany #stegosaurus
