Discovering the Dromaeosaur

Lorraine Cornish of London's Natural History Museum works with Feathered Dromaeosaur ("Fuzzy Raptor") to ready it for the exhibition. This remarkable 124-million-year-old juvenile dinosaur was discovered two years ago by farmers in Liaoning Province, in northeastern China. The fossil had the bony, duck-sized skeleton of a meat-eating Dromaeosaurus and the feathers of a bird.
