First feathered dinosaur tail found

[porchrat]

How do you know?

Obviously he is an expert in the study of the coelurosaur and has determined through rigorous analysis of this specimen that it is not in fact a coelurosaur. Either that or he has determined through rigorous research that while this specimen is from a coelurosaur, that the coelurosaur species were not dinosaurs.

Either that or some tolly about Jesus and Noah and such.

I wonder how accurate what we know about the dinosour era is? They find a bone here, a bit in amber there, and the researchers end up having to build a puzzle with so many missing pieces. The real answers might easily have been weirder and much different from the models we've built thus far.

So, couldn't this maybe have been the tail of a feathered snake? I can't imagine a feathered Puff adder, though.

Can't you just be a bit more vague? Just a little bit?

First feathered dinosaur tail that's not really a feathered dinosaur tail.

Jesus Christ, we always hear about the fact that we're in one of the dumbest countries in the world, it's another thing to see it play out in public.
:erm:

I've seldom come across 3 posts so close in a row that made me so much...

Or sometimes they find an almost complete skeleton, in this case the largest animal that ever walked the planet.


That femur at the bottom is 2.4m long.

Science is making dinosaurs more and more fabulous with each new discovery.

<totally camp dino>

Exactly. Look at that thing. It will disembowl you and then redecorate your lounge.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Will wait for an official investigation, looks fake.

Allot, like you?

Hmm so we now know that some dinosaurs had feathers/fur,although this appears to be a small species.

I wonder if anything big had feathers,that would be something.I can't imagine some of the large herbivores with feathers!:wtf:

These "discoveries" never turn out to be what they are claimed.

Thing is even if it's authentic it doesn't mean much. There's a deer with gills, doesn't mean it evolved from a fish.

My first thought after reading amber was Fringe. Cool discovery.

They are maxillary glands not gills.

 

[Swa]

They are maxillary glands not gills.

And if they were found in a fossil you'd claim they were gills and the missing link between fish and mammals.

[daveza]

Yup because fish evolved directly from fish to mammals.
