This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I have to disagree with that last point. Dinosaurs lasted a LONG time, and while.early dinosaurs certainly had little feather coverage, such as stegosaurus, later dinosaurs, such as yutyrannus and therozinosaurus, were absolutely covered.
Now, there were not "feathers", but feather like structures that eventually evolved into feathers in their descendants
What's a feather like structure look like?
Small, flaky scales that protruded out from the body
Sounds like reptiles to me. Something like a sort of cross between fish and snakes?
