A investigates some strange colourful plants - the first she’s ever seen.

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

Incredible soft-tissue detail visible under UV light on the fossil foot of a "raptor" (dromaeosaurid) dinosaur. Bottom right is my quick illustration.

Because I always love seeing the answers to simple questions like these, and because there's a new influx of users; what's your favorite of the ?

Mine's easily due to my interest in modern birds, and thus an interest in the evolution of their relatives and especially of flight; you can see it's my favorite from my username, even.
