Two fossil species with distinctive feather imprints and many dinosaur features were unveiled at a news briefing at the National Geographic Society. Also on display was an artist's reconstruction of one of the creatures. The two animals were discovered in the rich fossil beds of China's Liaoning Province, the source of other major discoveries in recent years.
Birds are dinosaurs.
The two new species will be on display as part of a collection of fossils from Liaoning at the National Geographic Society's Explorers Hall museum in Washington, D.C. from June 24 through July 26, 1998.
