Fossils tie birds to dinosaur origins in China finds
Two Chinese fossils of feathered small dinosaurs dated 120 to 136 million years ago are described by an international team as strong evidence that birds evolved from dinosaurs. Researchers say the specimens show running, winged dinosaurs with tail feathers, not yet true birds, and publish the work in Nature and a National Geographic cover story.
