Scientists at Jilin University recently uncovered the earliest record of the undulated structure of dinosaur tooth enamel.

The discovery will help scientists to improve research in the evolution, eating habits and living environments of dinosaurs.

The bird-footed Changchun dinosaur was tiny, only one meter in body length, and made one of the best preserved bird-footed dinosaur fossils.
