Does Dinosaur are alive , Tail of dinosaur is found in Amber

The tail of a feathered dinosaur has been found perfectly preserved in amber from Myanmar.

The one-of-a-kind discovery helps put flesh on the bones of these extinct creatures, opening a new window on the biology of a group that dominated Earth for more than 160 million years.Examination of the specimen suggests the tail was chestnut brown on top and white on its underside.

The tail is described in the journal Current Biology.

"This is the first time we've found dinosaur material preserved in amber," co-author Ryan McKellar, of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Canada, told the BBC News website.

The study's first author, Lida Xing from the China University of Geo-sciences in Beijing, discovered the remarkable fossil at an amber market in Myitkina, Myanmar.

The 99-million-year-old amber had already been polished for jewelry and the seller had thought it was plant material. On closer inspection, however, it turned out to be the tail of a feathered dinosaur about the size of a sparrow.

Lida Xing was able to establish where it had come from by tracking down the amber miner who had originally dug out the specimen.

Dr McKellar said examination of the tail's anatomy showed it definitely belonged to a feathered dinosaur and not an ancient bird.

Dr McKellar said there are signs the dinosaur still contained liquids when it was fused into the tree pitch that in the end framed the golden. This demonstrates it could even have turned out to be caught in the sticky substance while it was still alive. 

Co-creator Prof Mike Benton, from the University of Bristol, included: "It's stunning to see every one of the points of interest of a dinosaur tail - the bones, substance, skin, and plumes - and to envision how this little individual got his tail got in the tar, and after that probably passed on in light of the fact that he couldn't wrestle free." 

Examination of the science of the tail where it was uncovered at the surface of the golden even shows up hints of ferrous iron, a relic of the blood that was once in the example. The discoveries likewise shed light on how quills were orchestrated on these dinosaurs, since 3D components are regularly lost because of the pressure that happens when bodies get to be fossils in sedimentary rocks. The plumes do not have the all around created focal shaft - a rachis - known from cutting edge winged creatures. Their structure recommends that the two finest levels of fanning in cutting edge plumes, known as thorns and barbules, emerged before the rachis shaped.
