Fossils exhibited inside Liaoning Pavillion

Fossil of a feathered dinosaur was put on show at Liaoning Pavilion on Friday. The fossil, Sinosauropteryx, also called Chinese reptilian wing, is believed to be the earliest feathered dinosaur or the ancestor of birds. The fossil was discovered in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province. Other 10 pieces of fossils on display, including dinosaurs and prehistory fruit, were also found in this province. The pavilion also contains exhibits about the province’s heavy industries and economic development.
