A #mouth built for efficiency may have helped the earliest #bird fly
About 150M years ago, in a coastal lagoon in what is now Germany, the oldest known bird gobbled up food with a beak built for efficient eating.
Called #Archaeopteryx, the animal had a toothed beak, hooked claws for grasping or climbing and feathered wings that it used for gliding and short bursts of flight. It is the earliest #dinosaur that scientists also classify as a bird.

Discoveries in #Jurassic rocks reveal that #birds were adept fliers earlier than scientists realized.
Some 150 million years ago, in tropical land that is now Europe, there were unusual creatures that didn’t fit in with the rest of the #fauna.
These were some of the earliest birds on the planet: about the size of crows, with black feathers, and probably partial to eating insects.
They also didn’t look like modern birds.
They had teeth in their jaws and claws at the ends of their wings — features seen on no adult birds today.
These German animals were #Archaeopteryx, and they bore many traces of their #dinosaur ancestors.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
Flight evolved independently in Dromaeosauridae, Archaeopterygidae, Anchiornithidae, Scansoriopterygidae, and whatever Rahonavis is. Here's Yi qi from DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR, by Prof Michael Benton (published by Princeton University Press).

Archaeopteryx shared many anatomic characters with #coelurosaurs, a group of #theropods (carnivorous dinosaurs). In fact, only the identification of feathers on the first known specimens indicated that the animal was a #bird. Unlike living birds, however, #Archaeopteryx had well-developed teeth and a long well-developed tail similar to those of smaller dinosaurs, except that it had a row of feathers on each side. The three fingers bore claws and moved independently.

Vor so 25 Jahren hatte ich mal eine hitzige Diskussion mit meinem Bio-Lehrer, über die Aussprache von #Archaeopteryx
> "Wie bei #Pteranodon müsste das Wort für Flügel getrennt werden"
Und heute, auf dem Klo sagt mir mein Hirn so:
> "Das muss dann aber auch für Helico-pter gelten?!"
Danke, Hirn! -.-
