Dino --> Bird Transition Depiction
Hi All -
Does anyone know of a good (color) depiction of the transition from
dinosaurs to birds? I'm thinking of something like the wonderful Mark
Hallett painting showing a compsognathid like dinosaur chasing a dragonfly,
then raising slightly feathered arms, then turning and having fully
feathered arms and tail, then leaping off the ground as an
_Archaeopteryx_-like animal, then ending the sequence as a blue jay...but
preferably something more along the arboreal flight origins hypothesis. Any
help is greatly appreciated!
