Maybe dinosaurs merely fashioned their ceremonial headdresses from bird feathers.

I raise exotic chickens - no, no fighting - and they've got the 'saur thing goin'
on.
I extrapolate a lot about dinosaur motion and behavior from them, particularly territorial routines.

False alarm. Further research has discovered that the fossil is simply a 1992 presidential convention delegate from the Massachusetts Democratic Party.

Was the dinosaur dressed in a black pantsuit?

Its truly amazing how the human mind can so glibly dismiss obvious evidence when it contradicts pre-established theories. The Therapods were clearly warm-blooded and some of them, at least had feathers. If they didn't give rise to birds themselves, birds and theropods had a very close common ancestor.
The idea of a 40 foot tall T. rex running around in a chicken suit is an amusing picture, however.

They don't even say if it was a boy dinosaur or a girl dinosaur... if it was a boy, I'll bet some girl dino told him his feathers were like just so immature. Girls like to tell boys they are immature.... it's a sign of female maturity.

"I am not impressed," said Storrs Olson, senior zoologist at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History and an ardent critic of Norell's work. "I would want to be very certain that the fossil has not been deliberately salted with feathers from some other source."
Is this to say a Chinese paleontologist put chicken feathers in the dino's grave 129 mil years ago?? Fiendishly clever.

A creature that might have feathers on it's tail...about 3 feet long....there is NO chain of evidence it evolved from anything, nor is there any chain of evidence anything evolved from IT either !!

A dinosaur could easily have had feathers for insulation, but not flight feathers. Gigantic difference; the one could not plausibly evolve from the other. The evidence appears to indicate, however, that the one might have been re-engineered from the other.

Damn. All this time we've been envisioning giant grotesque lizards and they turn out to be like giant versions of the Philadelphia Mummers.
