Assuming that birds are a group of therapod dinosaurs, as many scientists now describe them, it is true that all extant dinosaurs are feathered.
But it is exciting to see these fossils discovered, so perhaps they should be described as extinct therapod feathers.
And mammals are synapsids, apparently[1], though that's not so much of an attention-grabber.
