Post subject: first described more than a decade ago
Ancient fossil was part dinosaur, part modern bird
BEIJING, Oct. 8 () -- A bird 125 million years ago had two distinct kinds of feathers, resembling those of non-flying feathered reptiles and modern birds, Chinese researchers say.A new analysis of the fossil Jeholornis, first described more than a decade ago, revealed a previously unrecognized second group of flight feathers at the base of its tail, Zhonghe Zhou of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing said."We did not expect to find this new structure," he told New Scientist.Like the tails of modern birds, these formed an airfoil that could have provided control during flight, the researchers said.Previously it had been thought Jeholornis only had feathers at the tip of its tail,[url=http://www.godsdrama.com/]cheap true religion[/url], largely useless for flight, similar to the tail feathers of some dinosaurs like the flightless Caudipteryx."We believe that the fan at the base of the tail mainly helps to streamline the body and reduce drag," Zhou said. They could have also generated more lift than the feathers along the tail of the most primitive bird, Archaeopteryx, making it more useful for flight, he said.The find raises new questions about feather evolution, leaving the place of Jeholornis in the avian family tree somewhat unclear, Michael Habib of the University of Southern California, who was not involved in the study, said."This could be an intermediate form or an 'evolutionary experiment', which left no descendants," Habib told New Scientist.
