Abstract in brief

  • This study describes a new Jurassic dinosaur from Siberia that had a mix of feathers and scales, including small scales, larger tail scales, and complex feather-like structures on its limbs and body.
  • The discovery of feather-like structures in this basal neornithischian, outside the theropod group where feathers are common, suggests that such structures may have been widespread among all dinosaurs and could have existed in the earliest dinosaur ancestors.
  • The presence of both filamentous structures and scales in this dinosaur indicates that feather-like features coexisted with scales during dinosaur evolution, which is important for understanding how feathers may have developed over time.]
