Where'd you get that from the story?
Italicized by mistake and not a quote of anything. An attempted topic sentence:
"The origin of birds from the theropod group is further supported by this find."
One razor sharp Wakazashi or Katana
One full sized Spade for evisceration
N-100 particle mask
100 meters Nylon rope
One Dodge3500 Cummin turbo diesel with 8,000 winch

Sounds like you've done this before...
Thanks for the thoughtul post. Some one wiser in the ways of Lexus-Nexus may be able to fill in the details, but there are reports of a thriving cottage industry producing feathered dinosaur fossils among ambitious chinese entrepreneurs. I might've read about that in Discover Magazine. Having stated my Caveat, I gotta confess that I'm the original Dinosaur Kid, having visited the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago many times in the early sixties. Luckily, for me, my spiritual background, though yielding to none in the rigours of Fire and Brimstone has in my lifetime been hospitable to the Arts and Sciences, a healthy balance. I can never walk across a lawn where an autumn congregation of blackbirds have convened without flashing back to a stroll through Jurassic Park.
Not another prediction of evolutionary biology verified?????
Noooooooooo....!!!!
Sounds like there were gay dinosaurs. No wonder they became extinct.
The Odo Theory of Evolution is only believed by fundamentalist Christians and Trekkers.
Dilong's protofeathers are not what we would recognise as feathers today, but are their evolutionary precursors. Rather than having a central shaft and barbs, they are single flexible filaments that would have covered the dinosaur's body like hair.
I have single flexible filaments on the top of my head.
Artist Portia Sloan worked with the Chinese scientists who discovered the new dinosaur to produce this drawing of what it might have looked like.
The skull of the primitive tyrannosauroid—the earliest of its kind yet found—was discovered in the Yixian formation of western Liaoning, China, the source of many species of fossil birds and dinosaurs with feathers as well as protofeathers (primitive forms of feathers).
>But many palaeontologists have been predicting just such a find ever since the first evidence of a dinosaur with a feathery coat came from the same site in Liaoning in 1995.<
Oops!
Isn't that an acknowledged fraud?
Do carnivores taste good? I'm trying to think if I've ever eaten a carnivore...cows, pigs, lamb, chickens, buffalo, deer, rabbits...
What about fish?
Hmmm. Let's see. Bear - Gamey. Shark - Kinda good. Barracuda - Not so good.
I just figured it out. Prey isn't prey because it's vulnerable, and predators aren't predators because they're powerful.
It's prey because it's tasty, and predator because it's not. {;^)
Man, I haven't heard from you in a long time. Hope you had a great vacation.
I always thought a pigeon was a feathered rat.
