The World’s Oldest Dinosaur Eggs

We know that birds, such as this Archaeopteryx, evolved from dinosaurs but there have been persistent questions about how common the feathers were amongst their extinct relatives © The Trustees of the Natural History Museum, London

The first dinosaurs probably didn’t have feathers

Palaeobiologists have identified another new species of pterosaur

A new feathered dinosaur that lived in New Mexico 67 million years ago is one of the last known surviving raptor species, according to a new publication in the journal Scientific Reports. Dineobellator notohesperus adds to scientists' understanding of the paleo-biodiversity of the American Southwest, offering a clearer picture of what life was like in this region near the end of the reign of the dinosaurs.

This mural was originally made for a recent Royal Ontario Museum exhibit about a fossil ankylosaur named Zuul crurivastator. That fossil is found within a couple of meters stratigraphically/temporally of the site described in this paper. The last author on the study, David Evans, is the dinosaur curator at the Royal Ontario Museum and was also involved in the description of Zuul and design of that exhibit.
