Scientists at Stanford have chemically linked dinosaurs to birds with x-ray technology. Although it has been highly speculated that dinosaurs and birds are related, the experiment, involving a high-energy X-ray beamed at a species known as Archaeopteryx (often cited as the missing link between dinosaurs and birds, and also the first feathered animal) identified key chemicals within the creatures bones, wings, and most excitingly soft-tissue.
I know this has been highly debated in the Lance staff, and is a controversial issue, but not at least we know without a doubt, that dinosaurs and birds are family.
