  • Paleogene Fossil Birds

    by Gerald Mayr ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    In the present book the Paleogene fossil record of birds is detailed for the first time on a worldwide scale.

    Although consensus exists among researchers that birds evolved from coelurosaurian theropods, paleontologists still debate the identification of the group of coelurosaurians that most closely approaches the common ancestor of birds. The last 20 years witnessed the discovery of a wide array of avian-like theropods that has considerably amplified the anatomical disparity among deinonychosaurians, ... Read more
