A feathered dinosaur is any species of dinosaur possessing feathers. That includes all species of birds, and in recent decades evidence has accumulated that many non-avian dinosaur species also possessed feathers in some shape or form. The extent to which feathers or feather-like structures were present in dinosaurs as a whole is a subject of ...
In all examples, the evidence described consists of feather impressions, except those genera inferred to have had feathers based on skeletal or chemical evidence, such as the presence of quill knobs (the anchor points for wing feathers on the forelimb) or a pygostyle (the fused vertebrae at the tail tip which often supports large feathers).

This category contains non-avialian dinosaur genera that have been shown by fossil evidence to have been feathered. Primitive birds belong in Category:Prehistoric birds, though transitional fossils may belong in both. See the article on Fossil birds for a list of early avian taxa.
Meet the Huge Dinosaur That Looked Like a Feathered T-Rex. November 19, 2024 at 10:30 AM. What was 21-feet tall, looked like a T-rex and was covered in feathers? It was the Cryolophosaurus, of course!
Birds are feathered theropod dinosaurs and constitute the only known living dinosaurs. This list of dinosaurs is a comprehensive listing of all genera that have ever been considered to be non- avialan dinosaurs, but also includes some dinosaurs of disputed status as non-avian, as well as purely vernacular terms.
Palaeontologists analysed fossil remains showing a small, feathered dinosaur – known as Microraptor ... “It’s so rare to find examples of food inside dinosaurs, so every example is really ...
The fossil of a baby dinosaur discovered more than 25 years ago in China has been identified as a new species of feathered dinosaur.
Coelurosauria is a subgroup of theropod dinosaurs that includes compsognathids, tyrannosaurs, ornithomimosaurs, and maniraptorans; Maniraptora includes birds, the only known dinosaur group alive today. [5] Most feathered dinosaurs discovered so far have been coelurosaurs.
