Sinosaurusopteryx prima Sculpture

artwork shows in detail, a depiction of a fossilized therapod discovered in the Laioning Province, China which was the first dinosaur ever found that showed evidence of having feathers. Sinosaurusopteryx Prima represents an important stage of Therapod evolution which is currently poorly understood. It has the longest tail of any known bipedal Therapod and has three fingered hands dominated by the first finger which is longer and thicker than any of the bones in the forearm. Davies has delicately carved small filament feather like structures and is a critical piece of evidence supporting the theory that birds descended from dinosaurs. This humble creature represents an important stage of bird evolution. The original fossil resides in a museum in Inner Mongolia. Davies' original master model resides in his studio.
