WASHINGTON—The fossils of three dinosaurs with strikingly
birdlike features will be unveiled. The fossils, part of a new
exhibition at National Geographic Society headquarters, are the latest to come out of China and include a previously unknown species.
All three are described in an article that will be published in
the November 1999 issue of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine. The
fossils provide fresh evidence that feathers were widespread among
meat-eating dinosaurs, maybe even Tyrannosaurus rex.
