Description

Here is a retrospect of some of the prehistoric species described in year 2009. From Aardonyx, to Guiyu and Puijila to Darwinopterus, it's nice to see that so many transitional creatures have been described in the year of the celebration of Darwin's 200 years birthday!
This is just a selection and is no way an exhaustive list!

Update: Changed the color of Anchiornis. The purple of Tianyuraptor was bothering me too...
