Four-winged dinosaur
Four-winged dinosaur. Artwork of Microraptor gui, a gliding dinosaur with feathers on all four limbs, which lived in the early Cretaceous period about 130 million years ago. This tiny dinosaur was only about 70 centimetres long. It is classified as a member of the dromaeosaurid family. Its discovery provides evidence that birds evolved from a gliding ancestor, rather than a fast-running ground-dweller. However, it may not be a direct ancestor of modern birds

A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the remarkable Microraptor gui, a four-winged dinosaur that roamed the Earth approximately 130 million years ago during the early Cretaceous period. Measuring only about 70 centimeters in length, this tiny carnivorous creature belonged to the dromaeosaurid family and played a crucial role in unraveling the mysteries of avian evolution. Feathers adorned all four limbs of this gliding dinosaur, making it an extraordinary specimen in paleontological history. Its discovery provided compelling evidence that birds did not evolve from fast-running ground-dwellers but rather descended from ancestors capable of gliding through the skies. While Microraptor gui may not be a direct precursor to modern birds, its existence sheds light on their evolutionary journey. The intricate illustration captures every detail of this ancient marvel, showcasing its unique wing structure and highlighting its ability to glide effortlessly through prehistoric landscapes. This mesmerizing depiction serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic talent. As we delve deeper into our understanding of evolutionary biology and paleontology, discoveries like Microraptor gui continue to reshape our perception of ancient life forms. This awe-inspiring image invites us to ponder the wonders of nature's ingenuity while reminding us that even creatures long extinct can still inspire fascination and wonderment today.
