Dinosaurs & Prehistory - Dinosaurs - Velociraptor - Dinosaur anatomy - Fossils
Which feature of Velociraptor was clearly demonstrated by fossil evidence, even though it is missing from many older film depictions?
Correct!
Velociraptor had feathers. The decisive evidence came from quill knobs on a fossil forearm bone, where strong feathers were anchored.
Velociraptor probably could not fly, but its arms and likely other body areas were feathered. Modern reconstructions therefore differ greatly from the large, scaly raptors shown in many older films.
