Dinosaur feathers

Dating from the Cretaceous, and preserved in Canadian amber.  Wow.
"The least spectacular of these specimens have either single fibers or tufts of fibers coming from a common base," said Wolfe. "They've basically been inferred to exist from a theoretical model of feather evolution, but have never before been documented in the flesh, as it were."
More photos and some commentary at Wired Science.
