a feathered dinosaur tail was found
preserved in amber the modern view on
dinosaurs is that they did not truly
become extinct that's because birds are
dinosaurs we've seen fossil evidence of
feathers on dinosaurs before but this
time researchers have found a feathered
dinosaur tail in amber the study was
just published in the journal Current
Biology a piece of amber was found in
Myanmar researchers examined this sample
with scanners to find out more they
believe the sample contains at least
eight fold vertebra and part of a ninth
so which dinosaurs is tail from well the
samples thought to be from the mid
Cretaceous period by examining his
vertebral profile and estimating the
length that dinosaurs believed to be a
cellular sword examples are still your

reference by the way
Manny Raptor wounds include Birds
researchers also say this will provide
an opportunity to document pristine
feathers indirect association with a
putative juvenile cell Eurus or not only
were feathers preserved soft tissue was
also present the study says the tissue
is visible through the plumage but the
tissues are reduced to a carbon film
that means what's inside won't exactly
be like a perfect sample but a lot of
information will be able to be
extrapolated from it some backstory on
this amber sample it was found by
scientists light a zing at an Amber
market in Myanmar in 2015 the merchants
thought that inside was probably leaves
or something however Zen thought
different and managed to obtain the
amber through the deck suit Institute of
paleontology for more information check
