    摘要:

    羽毛是最复杂的皮肤衍生物,它们形态多样且具有不同的功能,在鸟类和非鸟类恐龙中都有发现。羽毛化石为研究早期鸟类或非鸟类恐龙羽毛的起源和演化提供了重要证据。本研究描述了甘肃玉门地区下白垩统中发现的一块羽毛化石,通过半开放的封闭羽片及长羽轴特征,认为其属于鸟类羽毛分类中的体羽,并保存有副羽结构。这种复杂的羽毛可能来自玉门地区的早白垩世反鸟类。通过与现代鸟类体羽羽区长度的比较,推测其主人体型为小体型。此外,该化石的发现表明在早白垩世时,有些鸟类为适应不同的环境,其体羽已经发育出了副羽的结构。

    Abstract:

    Feathers, as the most intricate integumentary appendages, exhibit remarkable morphological diversity and serve various functions in both birds and non-avian dinosaurs. The presence of feather fossils plays a pivotal role in elucidating the evolutionary history of feather in early birds or non-avian dinosaurs. This study presents an account of a feather fossil discovered in the Lower Cretaceous of the Yumen region in Gansu Province, which is identified as a body feather due to its semi-open closed pennaceous structure and elongated rachis, with the presence of the afterfeather. This intricate feather likely originated from Early Cretaceous enantiornithine inhabiting the Yumen area. By comparing the vane length of this body feather with that of modern birds alongside assessing the afterfeather length, it can be inferred that the owner has a small body size. Furthermore, the discovery of this fossil indicates that in the Early Cretaceous, some birds had developed the afterfeather structure as an adaptation to diverse environmental conditions.
