Search for original silly gas in a fossil record

It took these decades, but scientists finally found the first bird of the place.

In 1993, he began on the island of Vega with catastrophic, windless rock from Antarctic Peninsula. A diver-diving bird, which is in advance of the rocks, which is in advance of the rocks, which is in advance of the rocks, which is in advance of the rocks, has emerged. Types of scientists Vegavis IaaiSubmitted a puzzle: Which bird was a feather?

About 20 years later, the Antarctica Expedition of 2011, a bird that recently approached with Vegavis Iaai and played the skull. In a published analysis Wednesday in Nature magazineResearchers have their necks to suggest that today’s gas and ducks are an ancient relative of today’s gas and ducks, the oldest modern bird.

“This is something we should help fill an inconvenience,” he said. But he made it so incredibly controversial. “

In the last few decades, Dr. Torres appeared at the beginning of the asteroid effects of some modern bird families of the researchers who look at a bird genome – a waterfowl and the game bird, probably deleting unobstructed dinosaurs. However, before the discovery of Vegabis in the 1990s, no characteristic fossil was determined by the molecular information and rocky physical evidence.

The mixture of the archaic and modern skeletal symptoms in the original Vegavis sample also made it difficult, Paleontologist Chase Brownstein, who did not participate in the study, said. Some researchers suggested that some of the most families of the destruction of Vegavis Mesozoic birds – some of the gear bills and cluned wing fingers. Others believed that a modern bird is closer to grebes or gases.

The skull found in 2011 helped to break the logjam before this date.

Researchers of the new paper have created a full three-dimensional reconstruction of the bird’s head. Vegavis is a form of toothless shoots and brain for modern birds, Dr. Torres, as well as the special skulls they arguing, they claim that the bird claims to be related to the modern waterfowl. But – and that’s the silly part – the skull is completely different from live ducks or gases. His bounce was long and pointed. There were strong jaw muscles that allow large glands and birds to quickly pull the jaws quickly quickly to remove salt from the body.

The whole skeleton pointed out a bird with a bird that browsed the submarine after the fish and a bird that gives himself with his strong kicks. This is more like any modern waterfowl, “and more like we see in modern loons and grebes“

Despite the birdy Body Plan and the head of the head, specify special signs that offer the water bird – including his father and shoots.

While Dr. Brownstein called the discovery of Vegavis the discovery of Vegavis, “excited”, it is enough to make the animal’s identity or clarify the animal’s identity or when the bird’s offspring appears as a waterfowl. However, the most conservative interpretation of the skull said that even the most modern birds and their closest dental relatives are extremely anatomically various at the end of the bron.

Others are more enthusiastic.

A bird, which has such modern features, the birds of a bird from dinosaurs, the other large-scenes of the birds, Gerardo Álvarez Herrera, Bernardino Rivadavia Natural Sciences Natural Sciences Nature Museum of Natural Sciences The Museum of Natural Sciences. In addition, the ancestors that carry the intelligence “with the dinosaurs with the dinosaurs near the ostriches, birds, neoaves and birds.
