United States
Brazil
China
Canada
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The Jurassic-era bird fossils were discovered in Fujian Province, China, by a team of researchers led by Professor Wang Min from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP). These fossils, estimated to be 149 million years old, provide crucial new insights into the early evolution of birds. The discovery challenges previous assumptions about bird evolution, revealing that birds were more diversified by the end of the Jurassic period than previously thought. The fossils also push back the origin of the short-tailed bird feature by nearly 20 million years.
