Amazing find of feathers incased in amber from the age of the dinosaurs:

Its quite amazing that these feathers have been untouched and unaltered since the mesozoik era, a time when giant animals made the earth shake, giant creatures roamed the seas and amazing reptiles flew in the sky.
Maybe some of the protofeathers came from creatures like this:

Amazing
 I find it really interesting to think of how they were once part of an animal

I think the feathers look fantastic. It's amazing to think that they have been preserved for all this time.

Oh I'm not much of a history guy, or computers, those kinda bore me. It's strictly the majors/subjects I mentioned.
But on another note: Project Free TV :: Planet Dinosaur :: Season 1 watched all but #2 today. Kinda sad I can't watch it anymore though, cause I watched it all. Anyway, pretty good dinosaur tv show.

Look at the scale... amazing
People always portray dinosaurs as huge, but they came in so many different adaptations.
