Abstract: The Yixian Formation in China's Liaoning Province has yielded many spectacular fossils — notably, several remarkably complete feathered dinosaurs. Yet its age has been controversial. Accurate radiometric dating now shows unambiguously that these beds are from the Early Cretaceous, providing a new temporal calibration for assessing the evolution of animal and plant life from that period.
