Feathered Dinosaurs

Here's a bonus feature for the weekend.

www.newscientist.com/ has a gallery of the latest finds on feathered dinosaurs from the last decade. Last I had heard there was just a handful of fossils hinting at wings and feathers. But since the mid-90s the Yixian formation in China has yielded dozens of species of feathered dinosaurs. The recent finds have also uncovered animals with four wings, with feathers on arms and legs.

The gallery begins here http://www.newscientist.com/gallery/finding-feathered-fossils/1
