The 150 -year -old post -mortem shows that Baby Petrosor was killed in a violent storm

The death of two Baby Petrosor has been revealed by a specialist at the University of Leicester in the post -mortem in 150 million years.

In detail in a study in the journal Existing organismsThe results of how powerful storms were tragicly affected by these flying animals, which also created ideal conditions to protect them, and hundreds of more fossils like them.

The age of the messoxic, or the creeping animals is often considered as the time of the giants. Great dinosaurs, monster marine crawling animals, and widely dominated the Petrosore Museum Halls and public awareness. But this familiar photo is Sketch. Just as today’s environmental systems are mostly inhabited by small animals, so were ancient.

Difference? Foslization is in favor of the largest and strongest organisms. Small, delicate creatures rarely make it into a peltological record.

On the extraordinary occasions, however, nature plans to protect the delicate and less inhabitants of these lost worlds. One of the most famous examples is the 150 million -year -old old German old lime stone in southern Germany. These legional reservoirs are famous for their highly secure fossils, including many samples of Mesozuk’s flying reptiles.

Yet there is a case: While the Solafin has received hundreds of petsur fossils, almost all are all very small, very young people, who are perfectly safe.

On the contrary, the large, adult Petosor is rarely found, and when they are, they are represented only by pieces (often isolated skulls or organs). This sample is a hypocrisy of expectations: big, stronger animals should have a better chance of gossip than delicate young children.

“Petrosers had an incredibly light skeleton,” said Rabbi Smith, a central author of the study, the University of Leicester Center for Leicester.

The discovery of two babies with broken wings has helped solve this mystery. These small stupids, although easily neglected, are a powerful evidence of ancient tropical storms and how they created the foam record.

The irony by researchers is that the name of Lucky and Lucky II is related to the two people, which is the first Petrosor scientifically named so far. With less than 20 cm (8 inches) wingspen, these hachings are the most famous Petrosor. Their skeletons do not make any changes in full, clear and practically when they die.

Except for a detail. Both show the same unusual injury: clean, sliced ​​fractures to Homers. Lucky’s leftist and Lucky II’s right -wing were broken in a way that suggests a powerful rotating force, possibly the result of a powerful breeze rather than a severe surface.

Disassely injured, plunged into a storm -powered waves and quickly drowned in the shore where they were rapidly buried with a very fine lime mud, the storms of death stirred. The rapid burial was allowed to be remarkable in their misconduct.

Like Lucky I and II, who were only a few days or weeks when they died, the Solen Halfin Lime stone has many small, very young Petrosor, who are just like luxury, but without clear evidence of skeleton trauma. Unable to resist the strength of the storms, the young Petrosor was also trapped in Lagun.

The discovery explains why small foes are so well -protected – they were a direct result of the storms.

It seems that the big, strong people, were able to make the storm of the storm, and rarely the destiny walks on the stormy road. Although they eventually died, but possibly floating on the calm surfaces of the Solafine Lagun for days or weeks, sometimes some parts of their bodies fall into the guts when they slowly rot.

Smith said, “For centuries, scientists believed that small petosers were dominated by the solovin ligaun environmental systems.” “But now we know that this theory is deeply biased. Many of them were not at all of the league. Most of the inexperienced children are children who were probably living on the nearby islands that were unfortunately trapped in powerful storms.”

Dr. David Anon, co -author of the University of Leicester, added, “When the Lord saw Lucky, we were very excited but felt that it was once. Was it a representative in any way? One year later, when the Lord saw Lucky II, we are not looking for any strange thing but this is not evidence.

“Later, when we had the opportunity to illuminate Lucky II with our UV flames, it literally went out of the rock on us – and our hearts stopped. None of us will never forget this moment.”
