"The discovery, which researchers reported last week in Nature, supports research showing that birds are dinosaurs, having descended from a group of bipedal dinosaurs called theropods… Given the full detail of the findings, Dr. Prum said, it was like writing the first entry in a Jurassic field guide to feathered dinosaurs."
