When evolution couldn’t decide between dinosaur and bird, it gave us Microraptor gui—a four-winged experiment from the Early Cretaceous. About the size of a crow, this feathered predator sported flight feathers not only on its arms but also on its legs, making it look like a dragonfly designed by a goth. Fossils from Liaoning, China reveal iridescent black plumage, hinting it was as stylish as it was deadly while gliding between trees in pursuit of small prey. This hard enamel pin captures its bizarre, elegant silhouette in polished metal and enamel—no fossil bed or time machine required. Specs: Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill Secure clasp so your Microraptor doesn’t “take flight” Size: 44.8 x 36.5mm Zero chance of nesting in your houseplants Perfect for dinosaur-bird enthusiasts, feathered fossil fanatics, and anyone who enjoys evolution’s more experimental drafts.
