AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Free shipping!
The Bohaiornis fossil comes from the old collection of an old collector. We have carefully sorted it out. The bones of this fossil are quite well preserved, and the texture of the bones can also be seen. We use an air pen to show the original appearance of the skeleton. This fossil also has feather imprints, which is very beautiful. Especially the two tail feathers, which are not found in modern birds.
The skull is short with a blunt snout. There are teeth on both the upper and lower jaws, and the teeth are robust compared to those of other enantiornithine birds, which suggests the ability to eat hard food such as insects. The pedal digits bear long and curved claws, indicating a raptorial ecology. The number of gastroliths is small.
Matrix: 55*32*2 cm, Body: 52 cm
