Article Synopsis
- Feathered theropods in the Early Cretaceous Jehol Group of China were diverse, but recent findings in the older Middle-Late Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation challenge the classic placement of Archaeopteryx in bird evolution.
- A newly discovered basal troodontid, Eosinopteryx, shows anatomical similarities to Anchiornis, differing mainly in its less extensive feathers and adapted limb structure, which suggests it was more suited for running rather than gliding.
- The presence of Eosinopteryx highlights the diversity of small-bodied dinosaurs in the Jurassic, indicating that similar body types could fill different ecological roles and complicates our understanding of how flight originated.
