Description
project: DINOSAURIA
specimen 062
SINOSAUROPTERYX PRIMA
"The First Chinese Lizard Feather"
Ji & Ji 1996
Length: 1.2m (4ft)
Weight: 0.55kg (1.2 lbs.)
Location: Liaoning, China
Era: Aptian age, lower Cretaceous (122 million years ago)
Classification:
Dinosauria
Saurischia
Theropoda
Tetanurae
Avetheropoda
Coelurosauria
Compsognathidae
Notes:
The first definitively non-avian dinosaur to be found with direct impressions of feathers and the first extinct dinosaur whose life coloration scientifically described based on physical evidence. Of the three original specimens attributed to the Sinosauropteryx genus, the third is most certainly a different taxon all together--the first two, however, may actually be basal carnosaurs rather than compsognathids (though this has never been tested).
