:* September 9th 2010: 130 million years ago, Spain was home to a theropod with feather-like quills on its elbows, and a huchback. The recently discovered [[Concavenator]] would have stood about 8 feet tall, and was 20 feet long.It sported quills on its arms that may be ancient precursors to modern feathers. Even more strange looking is the fin-like hump over its waist. Scientists disagree what it was used for, perhaps it was a display structure, something to regulate body temperature, or even a fatty deposit like that of the modern zebu, or camel. Perhaps the least strange, yet most important part of this find were the skin impressions that were found. It's skin was composed of alligator-like scales, and this might shed light on what dinosaurs in general looked like.

How our Wiki came to be
