"The Cretaceous Birds of New Jersey" by Storrs L. Olson studies bird fossils from the Late Cretaceous period in New Jersey, revealing insight into the development of early bird species. The investigation focuses on the various kinds of bird species and how they physically evolved, offering important clues about bird evolution and the area's geological past. The study revises past classifications, introduces new species, like "Anatalavis rex," and puts forth a new family classification. By comparing these old remains with today's birds, the research enriches our understanding of how birds adapted and changed during the Mesozoic era.
