Palaeontologists have confirmed that flying dinosaurs, ancestors of today’s birds, used shoulder muscles to power their wings’ upstrokes and chest muscles to power downstrokes. This confirmation was made possible by the discovery of elusive soft tissues, including the earliest soft anatomy profiles of flying dinosaurs. Using a Laser-Stimulated Fluorescence (LSF) technique, researchers analyzed more than
