I was asking of _Stefan_ if he was thinking of the "bird" Milly when he posted this picture - Sorry Milly - couldn't resist the word-play.

Gee You are always so serious.

So it's the jaw of an embryonic chicken.

But what is so special about this jaw?

Yes well early embryonic stage tends to resemble traits of the ancestors... so early embryonic chicken looking like its ancestor. Stefan, what do you want in the way of specifics? A chicken is a chicken!

The story was that researchers have studied the development of crocodilian-like teeth in chicken embryos, which shows that chickens still retain the genes for making teeth but normally silence them.
