Dinosaur Feathers Found In Amber 190
An anonymous reader writes "A stunning array of prehistoric feathers, including dinosaur protofeathers, has been discovered in Late Cretaceous amber from Canada. 'Protofeathers aren't known from any modern, existing groups of birds and therefore the most obvious interpretation is that they belong to dinosaurs,' said University of Alberta professor, Alexander P. Wolfe. The 78 to 79-million-year-old amber preserved the feathers in vivid detail, including some of their diverse colors."

So Many Missing Links to Choose From (Score:4, Funny)
What's really neat is that there are now so many dinosaur/bird hybrid fossils that we don't know which one is the direct ancestor of modern birds [ideonexus.com]. There are just too many candidates for the missing link.
The really funny is that the Creationists are spinning the overwhelming abundance of missing links to mean that none of them are missing the link.

Technically chicken tastes like dinosaur.
