"They can't determine which feathers belonged to birds or dinosaurs yet, but they did observe filament structures that are similar to those seen in other non-avian dinosaur fossils."

So, those could be just... bird feathers.

Only one way to find out. We have to clone the creature in the amber. The blood of the mosquito trapped in the amber seems like a good option.

Preferably in a remote location that's safe. Like an island.

If anything goes wrong, we'll just do a theme park!

You scientists! You're so excited that you could do this, you don't stop to think whether you should!

Which would also be dinosaur feathers, at that time. Because back then, they weren't essentially different.
