Giant fossil shows huge birds lived among dinosaurs

An enormous jawbone found in Kazakhstan is further evidence that giant birds roamed - or flew above - the Earth at the same time as the dinosaurs.Writing in Biology Letters, researchers say the new species, Samrukia nessovi, had a skull some 30cm long.If flightless, the bird would have been 2-3m tall; if it flew, it may have had a wingspan of 4m.The find is only the second bird of such a size in the Cretaceous geologic period, and the first in Asia.The only other evidence of a bird of such a size during the period was a fossilised spinal bone found in France and reported in a 1995 paper in Nature.
