Auspex Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 That is such an amazing fossil, isn't it? Look at how short the humerus is, relative to the ulna; there's a clue right there that the basic structure foreshadows the swifts and hummingbirds to come. By itself that is not enough to rule out convergence, and having the feather impressions helps. Its feet & legs, however, have yet to start down that path. Very cool fossil 1 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!
