This fossil bird found in china is really old. By really old I mean that the only other fossil animal which is considered a bird and is older than this one is that of Archaeopteryx. The newly discovered (actually found in 2005-2006) dinosaur days bird has been named Eoconfuciusornis zhengi. The fossil looks amazingly well preserved to me (of course this might not mean much considering I don’t know a lot about fossilization and what constitutes well preserved verses poorly preserved). Read about the find in this National Geographic Article.
