Dilong paradoxus is a basal tyrannosauroid from China. Fossilised skin impressions from the animal near the jaw and tail show that it was likely covered of simple feathers. The simple structure of the feathers could not have allowed for flight, so it is likely that they were used for insulation. Adult tyrannosaurs found in Alberta and Mongolia showed skin impressions of the typical pebbly scales, leading paleontologist Xu Xing and colleagues (who also discovered Dilong in 2004) to believe that the dinosaur may have had feathered in some spots but not others. Additional speculation is that juvenile Dilong had a coat of insulating feathers, but these were lost in adulthood because the adult dinosaur no longer needed the additional insulation.
🐉 Long before the development of paleontology as we know it, people unearthed fossilized bones and believed they had found the remains of dragons from an earlier age.
🐉 Happy Year of the Dragon! What animal are you? Emojis only.
I want to buy some more pins or keychains to put on my cubicle walls but idk how to pick any out. What are some of your favorites? Or do you have suggestions?
Some ideas in the tags ig. If it’s from a show, I like more understated things but my biggest thing is just that I like Knick knacks that have ties to people or memories of where I got them.
So recommend something to me and tell me why you love it or a memory attached.

one Chinese version of Super Wings poster, this picture shows two episodes, the first episode is about traveling back to the age of Dinosaurs, and maybe the other episode is about Jett and Jerome racing against enemies, that's just my thought, whether it's true or not.
