First dinosaur feather ever discovered reveals mysterious secrets

7 years 8 months ago
Discovered in the 19th century, scientists once believed that the first-ever dinosaur feather used to belong to the Archaeopteryx, a transitional dinosaur that lived 125 million years ago and bridged the gap between non-avian feathered dinosaurs and modern-day birds. Now, a new study has revealed that it doesn't belong to the winged dino after all – and its owner is still a mystery.
