Reanalysis of putative ovarian follicles suggests that Early Cretaceous birds were feeding not breeding
We address the identity of putative ovarian follicles in Early Cretaceous bird fossils from the Jehol Biota (China), whose identification has previously been challenged. For the first time, we present a link to the botanical fossil record, showing that the “follicles” of some enantiornithine fossils...
