| 英文摘要 | BENTON. M. J., ZHOU Z., ORR, P. J., ZHANG, F. & KEARNS, S. L. 2008. The remarkable fossils from the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota of China and how they have changed our knowledge. Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 119, 209-228. Palaeontologists and others have been repeatedly amazed by reports of spectacularly well-preserved fossils from China, and one of the key Sources has been the Jehol Biota of Liaoning, Hebei and Inner Mongolia in NE China. The Jehol Biota consists of three main horizons, the Dabeigou, Yixian and Jiufotang formations, spanning the late Hauterivian to early Aptian (131-120 Ma) of the Early Cretaceous and, collectively, these have produced thousands of essentially complete specimens of plants, insects, aquatic invertebrates, fishes, frogs, salamanders, turtles, lizards, choristoderes, pterosaurs, dinosaurs, birds and mammals. Most of the specimens show some aspect of exceptional preservation, ranging from clear impressions of the body outlines to traces of soft tissues (liver, teleost air sac, eye spots) and external body coverings (scales, feathers, hair). The claim was made that these discoveries have revolutionized Our understanding of evolution through this critical part of the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution. Key insights have conic from the numerous specimens of dinosaurs with feathers, but numerical Study shows that only the finds of birds and mammals have substantially changed our views about global diversity and patterns of evolution through the Early Cretaceous. |
