The geology of parts of China have remarkable fossils of certain time periods. Much like the Burgess Shale in Canada has of the Cambrian period.The geology of parts of China have remarkable fossils of certain time periods.

when my kid was in college, the class was challenged to attempt to prove that a T Rex was NOT covered in feathers.
He said the class could not. The bone structure was very akin to birds. Same with some other dinosaurs (I can’t remember which, and it was many years ago).
I was fascinated by his story of the class because I was brought up to believe that all dinosaurs were lizard like, but that is not the case, they were more bird-like in DNA he told me.
Anyways, fascinating, thanks for the article (not something I usually find here at FR), it’s great!
Newman was eaten by a “cute” dinosaur.

I like the backdrop of the picture. Horsetail (Equisetum hyemale, aka “scouring rush) and ferns. Both very ancient plants.
Dinosaur marketing is always interesting.
Except for some hypothetical webbing between the hind leg and tail, that’s pretty much how psittacosaurs have always been pictured. I almost questioned the lack of quills... but then I realized they were just blending into the grass.
Reminds me of something I saw climb out of AF-1 recently...
