First feather fossil ever found belongs to a MYSTERY dinosaur (and it’s been linked to the wrong bird for 150 years!)

Faint imprint of a fossil feather was discovered in southern Germany in 1861.

Experts thought that the feather came from the ancient bird the Archaeopteryx.

But now they claim that the feather actually belongs to a mystery dinosaur.

Detailed images showed that the relic is different to Archaeopteryx plumage.

This looks like a modern feather rather than the ancient protofeathers, which means that dinosaurs developed practically modern feathers uite early on!
