It's a long tooth and it's long in the tooth as well, buried for 125 years

evolutionary tree before our line evolved teeth
** Feathers not unique to birds: Chinese scientists
Feathers appeared on some species of dinosaurs that could run at fast speeds
and had few evolutionary links with birds, such as Caudipteryx and the
species unearthed in China, Sinosauropteryx prima
