This past week on Fossil Friday, I gave you a turkey of a fossil. Or a turkey-like fossil. Or what the UC Museum of Paleontology calls a "extremely bird-like" fossil.
So who was it?
Compsognathus longipes!
Found in Germany, this fellow was wandering around during the late Jurassic.
Kudos to those who guessed it!
I hope that this was enough to fill your gullet for two whole weeks, because we'll be taking Thanksgiving off this week here at the fossil headquarters.
Have a very happy Thanksgiving!
