Abstract:

A well-preserved specimen of an avialan bird with a complete skull and 
postcranial bones was found from the lower part of the Yixian Formation 
(Early Cretaceous) in Sihetun area of Beipiao City, western Liaoning, NE 
China. It is characterized by the development of a beak, the large sternum 
with a weak keel, the typical U-shaped furcula, the forelimbs much longer 
than the hindlimbs (about 131:100) and the long tail with about 27 caudal 
vertebrae. Due to the characters mentioned above, the new avialan bird is 
surely considered to be capable of flight stronger than Shenzhouraptor and 
Archaeopteryx. It is described in detail and named as Jixiangornis orientalis 
gen. et sp. nov. in this paper.
