abstract
  • Epidexipteryx ("display feather") is a genus of small maniraptoran dinosaur, known from one fossil specimen in the collection of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing. Epidexipteryx represents the earliest known example of ornamental feathers in the fossil record. The type specimen is catalog number IVPP V 15471. It has been reported to be a maniraptoran dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic or Upper Jurassic age Daohugou Beds of Inner Mongolia, China (about 152 to 168 mya). The specific name, Epidexipteryx hui ("Hu's display feather"), and its Chinese name Hushiyaolong ("Hu Yaoming's dragon") were coined in memory of paleomammologist Hu Yaoming. Epidexipteryx's skull is short-snouted with a truncated antorbital fenestra, a nostril positioned in a relatively high position, and strongly procumbent, proportionally large anterior teeth (the teeth get smaller further back). Its arms and hands were very elongate as well.
