The close relationship between dinosaurs and birds has led to the obvious possibility that some dinosaurs had feathers. Archaeopteryx fossils include well-preserved feathers, but non-avian dinosaur fossils with preserved feathers were not apparently discovered until the early 1990s.
According to fossil studies, it is likely that the filaments on the skin of pterosaurs, ornithopods, and theropods have the same origin. If this is true, then most dinosaurs, with the exception of a few species, have feathers.
Specifically, according to current research, ankylosaurs and duck-billed dragons have no feathers. Tyrannosaurus and Abelons (and perhaps giantosaurs) either had no feathers or mostly scales. Horned dragons may have had a feathery tail (like their relative, Psittacosaurus), but we're not sure yet. Sauropods may have been completely scaly. We don't know if there are feathers in protosauropods.
In ornithischia , feather marks have been found in three genera : Psittacosaurus , " " Plesiosaurus " , and " Cenotosaurus " . As mentioned above, the tail of the parrot-billed dragon had filaments. The feathers of TianyuLong are also similar, but they are more widely distributed throughout the body and are not limited to the tail. The fur of Gulinda's benosaurus is more hair-like, 1.5-3 cm long. It has three types of feathers: the first one resembles a down feather of theropods; the second is more complex and grows towards the underside of the body; and the third is unique.

Some fossils of theropods (possibly produced by coelentosaurs or diplodontosaurs) appear to show traces of feathers. In fact, all the theropod dinosaur feather fossil traces found so far belong to the virtual bone dragon class, such as squirrel-like dragons. In addition , humpbacks of the Allosaurus family had some skeletal structures that are thought to be feathered root segments ( similar " Spp . . plesiosaurs " and " Ornithischia " ) had similar structures).
Among them, " Squirrel-like " had 1 type of feathers ( monofilament , similar to " Apatosaurus " and " Psittacosaurus " ) . Tyrannosaurus rex (including the giant ornate feathered dragon), The Megalodon family (including the Chinese Dragon Bird – the first non-avian dinosaur to find clear evidence of feathers – and the genus Jurassus ) and the Scytheosaurus superfamily (including the singular Diplodocus) had type 1 feathers , type 2 feathers ( multiple filaments joined at their base ) and type 3 feathers ( multiple filaments attached to central filaments at their base ) , similar to those of The Palenta .

The hordeosaurs had more complex feather types, including feathered feathers like those of modern birds. This group includes the families Oviraptoridae, The Chironidae, the Leptodondae, the Ornithischiae, and the ancestors of the living real birds.
