Pterosaur embryo from the early cretaceous: an impressive fossil discovered in China confirms that pterasaurs were egg-layers

A therizinosauroid dinosaur with integumentary structures from China
Article Abstract:
Therizinosauroidea are uncommon Asian dinosaurs with an unusual combination of features. A new therizinosauroid from the YixianFormation is described, giving new evidence that therizinosauroids are incorporated within the coelurosaurian theropods. It has integumentary filaments as in Sinosauropteryx, which suggests that such feather-like structures may have a wide distribution amongst non-avian theropods.
