Kulindadromeus
''Kulindadromeus'' is a herbivorous dinosaur, a basal neornithischian from the Jurassic of Russia. Its feather-like integument is evidence for proto-feathers being basal to Dinosauria as a whole, rather than just to Coelurosauria, as previously suspected.
==Discovery and naming==
In 2014, the type species ''Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus'' was named and described by Pascal Godefroit, Sofia Sinitsa, Danielle Dhouailly, Yuri Bolotsky, Alexander Sizov, Maria McNamara, Michael Benton, and Paul Spagna. The generic name is derived from the Kulinda sites and a Classical Greek δρομεύς, ''dromeus'', "runner". The specific name refers to the Zabaikal region.〔Pascal Godefroit, Sofia M. Sinitsa, Danielle Dhouailly, Yuri L. Bolotsky, Alexander V. Sizov, Maria E. McNamara, Michael J. Benton & Paul Spagna, 2014, "A Jurassic ornithischian dinosaur from Siberia with both feathers and scales", ''Science'' 345(6195): 451-455 doi: 10.1126/science.1253351〕
The holotype, INREC K3/109, was found in a layer of the Ukureyskaya Formation dating from the Middle to Late Jurassic, Bajocian-Tithonian. It consists of a partial skull with lower jaws. The volcanic ash layers of the formation form a ''Konservat-Lagerstätte'' with an exceptional preservation. From 2010 onwards, the area has brought forth considerable amounts of additional fossil material, including subadult and juvenile individuals.〔 Earlier in 2014, based on fossils from this material, the genera ''Kulindapteryx'' and ''Daurosaurus'' were named.〔V.R. Alifanov & S.V. Saveliev, 2014, "Two new ornithischian dinosaurs (Hypsilophodontia, Ornithopoda) from the Late Jurassic of Russia", ''Paleontological Journal'' 4: 72-82〕 According to Godefroit, this publication was based on stolen specimens, and should be ignored.〔http://dml.cmnh.org/2014Jul/msg00028.html〕 The material consists of six skulls,〔Dan Vergano, 2014, "Siberian Discovery Suggests Almost All Dinosaurs Were Feathered", National Geographic Daily News http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/07/140724-feathered-siberia-dinosaur-scales-science/〕 and hundreds of disarticulated skeletons found in two bone beds. Each skeletal element shows but a single morphotype and Godefroit e.a. concluded, contrary to the earlier publication, that the bone beds are monospecific, containing but a single species.〔
