Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer described this feather as Archaeopteryx lithographica the next year. By analyzing specimens from China, paleontologists have filled in gaps in the fossil record and traced the evolutionary relationships among various dinosaurs. Chickens may be the rightful descendants of dinosaurs, but we also know that crocodilians like crocodiles and alligators share common ancestors with dinosaurs too. Kelly defeated Republican Senator Martha McSally in the special election this month. Protein sequences that were found in a T-Rex leg bone showed many similarities to modern day chickens.

Fossil and EmbryoEvidence: … 4 T. rex was not an ancestor, just a relative of birds “There are only certain variations in anatomy that vertebrates produce, and it’s probably because we’re so intricate, we’re so complex, that majorly screwing something up early on is not going to easily produce a viable living thing,” Bhullar explained. Scientists strapped a fake dinosaur tail to a chicken to hopefully gain insight on how the T-Rex moved and stood. And, not a surprise, they confirmed a close relationship between mastodons and elephants. Another prove of chickens’ close relationship with T-Rex is the finding of one feathery kind of dinosaur.
