Description:
Article Microraptorines are a group of dromaeosaurids known for having some degree of aerodynamic capacity. Here, the authors describe a new four-winged Early Cretaceous microraptorine from China, with a remarkably long-feathered tail, and show how the tail might have helped with landing.
