Scientists uncover new secrets of rare feathered fossil showing early bird evolution
Fox News
Discoveries from a well-preserved Archaeopteryx fossil reveal new insights into early bird evolution, showcasing unique features like specialized feathers and an immobile skull.
The first Archaeopteryx fossil, which showed reptile and bird-like features, supported Charles Darwin’s ideas on evolution and showed that birds evolved from dinosaurs. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
The new study was able to make out soft tissues in the Chicago fossil using UV light, while CT scans allowed scientists to see details still embedded in the rock. The study showed that 164 years after the first Archaeopteryx fossil was discovered, there is more to learn about the creature that took flight during the Jurassic period 150 million years ago.
