我国鸟类化石研究起步较晚,而中生代鸟类化石的研究仅开始于本世纪80年代。甘肃鸟(Gansus,Hou and Liu,1984)的发现和研究标志着这一研究领域的开端。自80年代末以来,在中国科学院特别支持费和国家自然科学基金会的支持下,我国辽宁朝阳地区陆续发现了大量晚侏罗世—早白垩世的鸟类化石和羽毛化石。另外,在内蒙古、河北的相近地层中又发现了更多的鸟类骨骼化石。并且,在山东、宁夏等地区也发现了中生代鸟类羽毛化石。这引起新的发现不仅丰富了世界中生代鸟类的种类和数量,而且将鸟类进化和适应辐射的时
The study of bird fossils in China started late, while the study of Mesozoic bird fossils began only in the 1980s. The discovery and research by Gansus, Hou and Liu (1984) marks the beginning of this area of research. Since the late 1980s, with the support of CAS and the support of NSFC, a large number of late-Jurassic-Early Cretaceous bird fossils and feather fossils have been discovered in the Chaoyang area of Liaoning Province, China. In addition, more bird skeleton fossils were found in similar formations in Inner Mongolia and Hebei. In addition, Mesozoic feather fossils have also been found in Shandong, Ningxia and other regions. This has led to new discoveries that have not only enriched the species and abundance of Mesozoic birds in the world, but also have evolved and adapted to radiation
