This little basal neornithischian dinosaur was described based on six partial skulls and several hundred disarticulated skeletons from two bonebeds from Siberia. What is remarkable and caused quite a sensation at the time of discovery is the extensive soft tissue impressions indicating feather like filamentous structure covering most part of the body while scales were present in other parts such as the feet and tail.
