That reminds me of the debate in 1996-1997 over the primitive feathers thought to have appeared on the Sinosauropteryx prima. Two specimen were discovered by farmers northeast of Beijing.

Prize quote:

"Their presence may mean that Sinosauropteryx was warm-blooded and used the feather-like features to retain heat, the scientists said. If the dinosaur were cold-blooded instead, the feathery features would have prevented it from warming up by basking in the sunshine, the researchers said."
