This is one of the greatest 'dinosaurology' discoveries of our time.

We've known since the early 90's (80's if you count statements made by Bakker and Paul) that at least SOME Theropods had feathers.

We've also known for a while that some Ornithischians had quill-like projections.

But it was debatable whether these 'quills' were homologous to the feathers found in Theropods.

Now we have Kulindadromeus. At last, we know that ALL dinosaurs had feathers, or secondarily lost them.

I hereby christen this day 'Kulindadromeus Day'. Lets us raise our glasses to the discoverers and authors of the paper. Well done, ladies and gents!
