Sciurumimus albersdoerferi represents the phylogenetically most basal theropod that preserves direct evidence for feathers and helps close the gap between feathers reported in coelurosaurian theropods and filaments in ornithischians, further supporting the homology of these structures.

An analysis of the phylogenetic distribution of pennaceous feathers on the tail, hindlimb and arms of advanced maniraptorans and basal avialans strongly indicates that these structures evolved in a functional context other than flight, most probably in relation to display, as suggested by some previous studies.

The iconic primeval bird Archaeopteryx was so far mainly known from the Altmühltal Formation of Bavaria, southern Germany, with one specimen having been found in the overlying Mörnsheim Formation, but a new specimen from the earliest Tithonian Painten Formation of Schamhaupten (Bavaria) represents the so far oldest representative of the genus.

Although the understanding of the mechanical properties of the wing membrane is hampered by the lack of knowledge regarding the composition of the actinofibrils, the configuration observed in Jeholopterus might have allowed subtle changes in the membrane tension during flight, resulting in more control of flight movements and the organization of the wings when the animal was at rest.
The Extent of the Preserved Feathers on the Four-Winged Dinosaur Microraptor gui under Ultraviolet Light

Examination of the Microraptor gui specimen under ultraviolet light reveals that these feathers actually reach the body of the animal and were not disassociated from the bones, and that their arrangement and orientation is likely correct.

The Late Jurassic Bavarichthys incognitus from Ettling, Bavaria is described, which represents the oldest record of a crossognathiform in Europe and together with Chongichthy from the Oxfordian of South America stands at the basal levels of a clade includingcrossognathids and pachyrhizodontoids.

- BiologyPLoS ONE
- 5 July 2012
A new genus of non-pterodactyloid pterosaur based on an extremely well preserved fossil of a young juvenile: Bellubrunnus rothgaengeri is described, heralds from a newly explored locality that is older than the classic Solnhofen beds.
