JEHOLORNIS PRIMA
Zhonghe Zhou, a Beijing researcher into
paleoanthropology from the Vertebrate
Paleontology Institute, and Fucheng Zhang
discovered a fossil they named Jeholornis prima.
This fossil bird’s long tail led some evolutionists
to point to it as evidence that birds were evolved
from dinosaurs. But as we already pointed out,
mosaic creatures have features belonging to differ-
ent living groups, which species evolutionists propose
as evidence for their theory. 205 Insects, birds, and bats all have
wings, yet even evolutionists can not suggest any evolutionary link
between them. Therefore, certain similarities between dinosaurs and
reptiles do not imply that the former are the ancestors of the latter.
As Alan Feduccia says:
If one views a chicken skeleton and a dinosaur skeleton through binoc-
ulars, they appear similar, but close and detailed examination reveals
many differences. . . . Theropod dinosaurs, for example, had curved,
serrated teeth, but the earliest birds had straight, unserrated peg-like
teeth. They also had a different method of tooth implantation and
replacement. 206
From that point of view, Jeholornis is not an intermediate form, but
a fully fledged and powerful bird, albeit

displaying mosaic features. 207
