Feathered Dinosaur From the Jurassic Period Discovered in China
Archaeologists in China have discovered the fossilized remains of a feathered dinosaur the size of a pigeon believed to have lived millions of years before birds evolved but which may be an early avian ancestor.
The discovery of a 90% intact fossil preserved in a slab of rock at a site in Laioning Province in Inner Mongolia, heightens the notion that tiny-bodied, carnivorous bipedal dinosaurs are closely related to and most certainly evolved into birds.
