Dinosaure amb plomes

Els dinosaures amb plomes o dinosaures plumífers[1] es consideren fòssils de transició entre els dinosaures clàssics i aus.[2][3] Era ja conegut que les aus antigues com Archaeopteryx tenien moltes característiques de rèptil, com a dents, i arpes en els seus dits, i molts anys abans havia estat teoritzat que els ocells descendien de dinosaures teròpodes. A la fi dels anys 1990, els descobriments de dinosaures amb plomes a la Xina van proporcionar la prova concloent de la connexió, encara que els detalls genealògics encara estiguin sent dilucidats. S'ha demostrat de moltes formes la relació de descendència entre aus i dinosaures, ja que la seva similitud morfològica quant al crani, el maluc, les potes i les extremitats superiors és molt notable. Les aus són clarament monofilétiques i els seus primers representants es troben en el Juràssic (Protoavis, un fòssil controvertit del finals del Triàsic, és considerat no aviari per la majoria dels paleontòlegs).

  • Noteu que les estructures filamentoses trobades en alguns dinosaures ornitisquis (Psittacosaurus, Tianyulong, Kulindadromeus) i els pterosaures poden o no ser homòlogues amb les plomes i protoplomes dels teròpodes.[32][49]
