Iberomesornis, the Spanish Intermediate Bird

from Paleo Bites

(image source: https://dinosaurpictures.org/Iberomesornis-pictures) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Natasha Krech discuss Iberomesornis, a tiny Mesozoic bird with teeth and claws but also a beak and no tailbones, almost like evolution exists or something. From the Early Cretaceous, this 6-inch enantiornithine theropod coexisted with pterosaurs while watching them with sneaky eyes, knowing eventually they’d take over their throne as the dominant flying vertebrates. Or their perch, since, you know, they’re birds. Want to further support the show? Sign up to our Patreon for exclusive bonus content at Patreon.com/MatthewDonald.
