A Tiny Feather Found Inside Ancient Dinosaur Poop Solves a Giant Mystery!

Scientists have discovered a 66-million-year-old bird feather trapped inside fossilized dinosaur poop [dinosaur droppings turned to stone]! This amazing find suggests that ancient birds had simpler feathers, while the ancestors of modern birds had super-fluffy plumage [warm coats of feathers] that helped them survive the freezing winter after a massive asteroid hit Earth. Who knew that looking through prehistoric poop could reveal the secret to how birds survived the dinosaur age?
