Bird-like feathered theropod dinosaur Microraptor gui, from the Early Cretaceous,130-120 million yrs ago, Liaoning Province China. Microraptor had four wings with feathers on all four limbs (visible as imprinted streaks around the limbs on this fossil). It probably could not fly but may have had extended gliding abilities.
