In 1999, senior engineer Li Daqing of the Paleontological Research and Development Center of the Third Institute of Geological Survey of Gansu Province led scientific researchers to conduct a field investigation in the Lanzhou Basin of Gansu Province. They discovered a little outcropping of r
In the past, people always believed that dinosaurs, like today's reptiles, just lay eggs and walk away, regardless of what happens to their children. Later, paleontologists discovered that the teeth of some young dinosaur fossils had obvious signs of wear, indicating that they had begun to ea

Lufengosaurus lived in the Early Jurassic about 190 million years ago and was the ancestor of the later giant herbivorous dinosaurs. It is named after the type specimen was found in Lufeng County, Yunnan Province, China. It is also the first complete dinosaur fossil found in China.

Just when the clamor that birds originated from dinosaurs is overwhelming, my country's famous paleontologist and researcher Hou Lianhai of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has always insisted on the view that birds originated from a
Since He Xuli proposed that birds originated from dinosaurs, this hypothesis was once popular at the time, but at the same time, it was also opposed by some scientists. But the real impact on this hypothesis came in 1913. At that time, Professor Brom, a famous South African paleontologist, fo
In 1928, the famous American geological paleontologist Professor Gripp published a scientific masterpiece - "The Geological History of China". In this book, he proposed the term "Jehol Biota" for the first time to represent the comprehensive fossil group distributed in the wolf-finned fish ro
In 1861, the oldest bird fossil was discovered in the Upper Jurassic limestone (a limestone formation formed in the late Jurassic) in Solnhofen, Bavaria, Germany. Not only were the bones preserved, but there were also traces of feathers. , it was named Archaeopteryx. Since then, a total of se
