“Liaoning is not the most picturesque part of China,” remarks Mark Norell in his book Unearthing the Dragon. Picturesque or not, Liaoning Province has won the admiration of paleontologists like Norell for its exceptional fossils. Its fossil treasures include plants, insects, mollusks, crustaceans, fish, frogs, salamanders, turtles, lizards, and dinosaurs—particularly feathered dinosaurs. The first widely acknowledged feathered dinosaur, Sinosauropteryx prima, was unveiled at a scientific meeting in 1996, and Liaoning fossils have continued rewriting dinosaur history ever since. If it were filmed today, Jurassic Park might include a feathery T. rex.
