Abstract: Abstract The bird Cathayornis from the Early Cretaceous period gives the first evidence for a post-Jurassic survival of an Archaeopteryx -like skull in birds. This skull combines short, toothed premaxillaries, nasals meeting at the midline and submaxillary fossae in the antorbital fenestra.
