The researcher who discovered this was "very excited". lol

So, we now have an explanation for the physical appearance of Barney...lol

Seriously, this is a fascinating development. The proto-feathers doubtlessly belonged to the ancestors of present-day avians (birds).

And upon seeing this, I suddenly hear the sound of many, many furries having orgasms. <_<

Hmm... so, T in T-Rex isn't Tyrranosaur, but rather Trissy. Interesting.

probably not, but most likely from now some artists might decide to update their artwork with this recent finding *smirks*

this makes since, but clearly most dinosaurs were reptile looking. i've been studying Dinosaurs since i was 5. Archaoptryx (spelling's bad, but i can pronounce it) was the first feathered flying dinosaur, and it's obvious it didn't evolve outta no where, so it's no surprise when we find it's ancestors that had bristles, which formed into wings.
