Yi (dinosaur)
''Yi'' is a genus of scansoriopterygid dinosaurs from the Late Jurassic of China. Its only species, ''Yi qi'' (Mandarin pronunciation: ; from and ), is known from a single fossil specimen of an adult individual found in Middle or Late Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation of Hebei, China, approximately 159 million years ago. It was a small, possibly tree-dwelling (arboreal) animal. Like other scansoriopterygids, ''Yi'' possessed an unusual, elongated third finger, that appears to have helped to support a membranous gliding plane made of skin. The planes of ''Yi qi'' were also supported by a long, bony strut attached to the wrist. This modified wrist bone and membrane-based plane is unique among all known dinosaurs, and might have resulted in wings similar in appearance to those of bats.

Wang sold the fossil to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
