The earliest evidence for a supraorbital salt gland in dinosaurs in new Early Cretaceous ornithurines
Supraorbital fossae occur when salt glands are well developed, a condition most pronounced in marine and desert-dwelling taxa in which salt regulation is key. Here, we report the first specimens from lacustrine environments of the Jehol Biota that preserve a distinct fossa above the orbit, where the...
