In Myanmar, scientists have discovered a 99 million-year-old dinosaur tail with feathers stuck in a chunk of amber, providing us with evidence that dinosaurs had feathers rather than scales.
According to CNN, Chinese paleontologist Xing Lida came across the 1.4 inch tail—with feathers, bones, and soft tissue preserved in a 6.5 gram chunk of amber at an amber market in northern Myanmar near the Chinese border. The trader didn’t seem to realize he was in possession of “a once in a lifetime find.” While the amber might have otherwise ended up as jewelry, Xing said, “I realized that the content was a vertebrate, probably theropod, rather than any plant.”
