High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Anchiornis is a genus of small, feathered, troodontid dinosaur. The genus Anchiornis contains the type species Anchiornis huxleyi, named in honor of Thomas Henry Huxley, an early proponent of biological evolution, and the first to propose a close evolutionary relationship between birds and dinosaurs. The generic name Anchiornis means "near bird", and its describers cited it as important in filling a gap in the transition between the body plans of flying avian birds and non-avian dinosaurs. Anchiornis fossils have been found in the Tiaojishan Formation of Liaoning, China, dating somewhat uncertainly to the mid-late Jurassic period, 160 to 155 million years ago
