Unearthed in Montana, the feathery find belonged to a bird that had once been devoured and excreted by a predatory dinosaur — possibly a Tyrannosaurus rex or smaller cousin — just before the asteroid strike that unleashed the extinction event 66 million years ago, according to a new study published in the journal Curren
