Discovery: Yixian Formation (Jehol Biota), Liaoning Province, China Characteristics: With beak, no teeth; Distinct feathers; This specimen is all natural with ZERO restoration, only cracks are re-joined. This fossil represents Confuciusornis, one of the earliest known birds with a beak but no teeth. It lived during the Early Cretaceous period, around 125 million years ago, in what is now northeastern China. Confuciusornis is notable for its preserved feathers and its significance in the evolution of modern birds. Some individuals possessed long tail feathers, possibly used for display. The dark fossil imprint results from the carbonization of organic material, allowing exquisite preservation of plumage. This specimen provides valuable insight into the transition from primitive avian forms to modern birds.
