Manuel Quiring

The Confuciusornis fossil has a beautiful beak. As the first bird with a beak in the history of the earth, it has a clear bone structure. The nerve holes and blood vessel holes on the surface of the beak are clear. The characteristic of the body structure is that the skull is not completely healed and the jaws are not fully healed. The bone is a horny beak with no teeth. There is a large air sac hole at the proximal end of the humerus. This fossil just meets the conditions for confirming the species. There are some filaments in the neck, which may be bony ligaments or mineral residues. Based on the structure of the skull, It is said that it is closer to dinosaurs. It is like a textbook on bird evolution. It is larger than Archaeopteryx, even larger than Anchiornis, and is about the same size as a medium-sized raptor. This fossil has no fake fossils, no splicing, and no pigments. It is worth collecting. Fossil, this fossil is an old collection that I spent a long time under a microscope for a long time
