SCIENTISTS have brought to life a dinosaur that walked the Earth 160 million years ago in incredible pictures. The feathered Anchiornis, which had drumstick-shaped legs similar to modern birds, could ...

Researchers say they have reached an unprecedented level of understanding regarding what one particular four-winged dinosaur actually looked like. Researchers from Linyi University in China and the ...

We’ve known for a while now that dinosaurs had feathers, but for the most part we’ve imagined they were tough, spiky-looking weirdos — a far cry from the soft, sleek birds of the modern age. A new ...

Scientists are one step closer to figuring out what dinosaurs actually looked like—and they're doing it by pointing laser beams at dinosaur fossils to show previously unknown features and details, ...

Lasers have helped reveal traces of soft tissue in fossils of an early feathered, four-winged dinosaur. The technique has allowed scientists to get direct evidence of a wing structure needed for ...

Picture a red-headed woodpecker crossed with a tiny velociraptor, and you have a good mental image of Anchiornis, a foot-high dinosaur that hails from the Late Jurassic. That’s the conclusion of ...

An international team of researchers has performed molecular analysis on fossil feathers from a small, feathered dinosaur from the Jurassic. Their research could aid scientists in pinpointing when ...

For the first time ever, paleontologists can look at dinosaurs in color. In last week's issue of the journal Nature, scientists described the discovery of melanosomes, biological structures that give ...

The researchers got lucky with their Anchiornis specimen, which died under conditions that left its feathers separated from the body before they were fossilized. Using high-resolution imaging ...

Scientists used laser-stimulated fluorescence imaging to sketch image of mysterious feathered beast that had drumstick-like legs SCIENTISTS have brought to life a dinosaur that walked the Earth 160 ...
