During the 1990s Liaoning jumped from the pages of scholarly journals onto front pages everywhere through a series of spectacular discoveries of archaic birds and—more intriguingly—dinosaurs with feathers. These fossils bolstered the once controversial but now widely endorsed theory that modern-day birds descended from dinosaurs. They also provide much new evidence in the ongoing debate about how flight originated.
Chaoyang fossil city in China
take a 6-hr driving northward from beijing you will reach Chaoyang city. there are 2 historical towers sitting face to face at north and south. a musuem under the north tower and a Buddha's relics is kept inside, in between there are many difference kinds of fossils for sale, such as fish, plants insect and etc....they said that the first bird on earth began to fly from here.
The Fabulous Chinese Fossils--- Chaoyang Liaoning Province china organism fossil
excavation was still continuing
Xu, also a postdoctoral fellow at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, waxes enthusiastic about what has become one of Earth's most celebrated fossil beds. Discoveries there are casting light on life during the Mesozoic, specifically 130 million to 110 million years ago—a time distinguished by the diversification of dinosaurs, mammals, birds, and flowering plants.
Liaoning opens a window on the late Mesozoic that is more complete and more in depth than anywhere else on Earth, Xu asserts. The reason is the diversity and great abundance of terrestrial plants and animals and their fossilization. At most sites only bone can be found. At Liaoning the fine particles of ash and mud that covered animals preserved soft body parts and prevented decomposition by sealing off oxygen.
Some scientists call Liaoning a Mesozoic Pompeii, evoking the ancient Roman city where humans were entombed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. But in its own way Liaoning is even more remarkable. Repeated volcanic eruptions created a layer cake of fossil beds spanning millions of years. So far, more than 60 species of plants, nearly 90 species of vertebrates, and about 300 species of invertebrates have been identified. Paleontologists marveled at dinosaur fossils with stomach contents identifiable as the bones of lizards and mammals, and at bird fossils containing plant seeds.
Liaoning is situated within a vast region whose primeval flora and fauna are referred to as the Jehol biota. The area was characterized by a warm climate and numerous lakes. These conditions provided a fruitful environment for plants and animals to differentiate and flourish. So many individual fossils have been found that scientists are able to study population dynamics, succession within communities of interacting species, and even predator-prey relationships.
The site preserved not just bones but often whole skeletons, says paleontologist Hans-Dieter Sues of the Smithsonian Institution, and some birds were preserved so well you can distinguish between male and female. Liaoning is unique.

Fossils are being uncovered faster than paleontologists can describe the specimens and spread the new knowledge through scientific papers. And Liaoning promises to provide fresh discoveries for many years to come.(Reprint)

Chaoyang Liaoning china organism fossil Let world shock
Chaoyang city Liaoning Province: Far and away, the hottest spot on earth for Paleontology is China. Fossils abound in this huge nation, and among the famous localities are the many formations in the remote Northwestern Liaoning Province. According to the January 12, 2001 issue of the prestigious journal Science, Paleontologists are flocking to China, which has beefed up its support of the field to take advantage of troves of superbly preserved specimens. Fossils unearthed in Liaoning Province, for example, may help end one of the most high-powered debates in paleontology--whether birds evolved from dinosaurs.Phenomenal finds in the past few years in Liaoning include Liaoxiornis delicatus the smallest bird known from the Mesozoic, and Hyphalosaurus sinohydrosaurus (Nature 401, 262, 1999) a long-necked diapsid reptile. The famous bird, Confuciusornis sanctus, was described in 1995 from three partial skeletons, but Chinese workers have discovered many new and complete specimens that show almost all aspects of the skeletal anatomy and much of the plumage. Then there is Protopteryx fengningensis (Science: Volume 290, Number 5498, Issue of 8 Dec 2000, pp. 1955-1959). Many more are cued for description in the literature.-- picture origin unearths scene

Tracing back to Time Immemorial..... Fabulous Chinese Fossils
The western liaoning China is a vast barrend land, Unexpectedly it had been the ferrile land, with the best climate and abundant animals, and plans about 100 million years ago.However,the devastated calamity in the geology history, make those lively things exinction in a twinkly.,
A quantity of animal and plant fossils have been cavated in liaoxi District(western liaoning)since 1990s. At present, more than 20 classes,55categories, 88 pecies are known to people, zhong hua long niao is the most precious among them, it found in western Liaoning Chaoyang (Here is my hometown)
it has now been put Germany in the early bird fossils from the monopoly position, according to preliminary confirmation by the small birds evolved from a dinosaur, the scientific value incalculable
zhong hua long niao is the real ancestor of birds, At the same time, the new categories are being found continuously, which offer the caluable evidence to the earth organism evolution, because of its diversity and large quantity of species,No other places can compare with liaoxi Districr, Thus ,it is regarded as the treasure house of the ncient extinct life fossil., Therefore, the liaoxi Chaoyang District is the focus of the world authoritative science magazines, such as science of America, National Geography of England, Nature and so on.
A piece of fossil is an exquisite artistic treasure., Like the most vivid language and the most exquisite word, record the evolution process of life and scene of every geology period, the ancient extinct life fossil is an encyclopedia which explain the earth organism evolution.

维加鸟化石蕴藏鸣管 可助解析恐龙沟通法
古生物学又有新发现,古生物学家24年前,在南极挖掘出一组7千万年前的动物化石,研究发现,这批化石残骸,属于一种名为维加鸟的绝种鸟类,让专家振奋的是,维加鸟的化石残骸存有鸣管,而专家能够透过这个化石,研究远古恐龙的发声和沟通方式。
费南德斯(阿根廷古生物学家):“我们发现了维加鸟的鸣管,让我们得以研究它们在恐龙时代是怎么发声,重要的是,这个发现让我们对恐龙,包括鸟类有了新的见解,也就是这些动物是怎么利用声音彼此沟通,以及这些鸣管是怎么产生声音,同时让脑袋发育。”
