This started out as an idea to do a piece on #angiosperm evolution, but that turned out to be a way deeper and more contentious issue than I thought. Molecular evidence says they go way back to the Devonian! So these #lingyuananthus flowers are only new to this Microraptor because they were still fairly rare, not because they were truly new.
