Cool new bird/dinosaur fossil discovered

A new fossil of a birdlike dinosaur has been discovered in China. What is interesting is that the fossil shows no sign of wing feathers unlike other similar fossils. The scientists studying it believe that this means that the dino's feathers were used for ornamentation before they evolved to be used for flight. Cool!
