{# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Key differences (from DinoComparison model) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}

主要差异

  • Microraptor had four wings (feathered hind limbs); Archaeopteryx had two main wings with clawed fingers.
  • Both were small (Archaeopteryx ~0.5 m, Microraptor ~0.8 m) and likely capable of gliding or limited powered flight.
  • Microraptor's iridescent plumage is reconstructed from fossil melanosomes; Archaeopteryx's feathers are preserved as imprints in limestone.
  • Archaeopteryx (Late Jurassic, ~150 Ma) predates Microraptor (Early Cretaceous, ~125 Ma) by ~25 million years.
  • Microraptor's stomach contents include fish and birds, showing it was an active predator; Archaeopteryx's diet is inferred from its teeth.
