Fossil Wonderlands: Nature's Hidden Treasures

Prof. Richard Fortey travels to northeastern China to see a fossil site known as the `Dinosaur Pompeii' - a place that has yielded spectacular remains of feathered dinosaurs and rewritten the story of the origins of birds. Among the amazing finds he investigates are the feathered cousin of T-rex, a feathered dinosaur with strong parallels to living pandas, and some of the most remarkable flying animals that have ever lived.
