Kulindadromeus

Kulindadromeus is a herbivorous dinosaur, an ornithischian from the Jurassic of Siberia, Russia.
The fossil shows clear signs of feather-like structures on its body. These probably had the function of temperature regulation: they were not flight feathers.
The original specimen was a partial skull with lower jaws.
From 2010 onwards, more fossil material has been discovered.
