Feathers, it seems, did not originate with the dinosaurs. According to a recent study, they may have evolved in another group. 

The pterosaurs, a closely related but separate group of “ruling reptiles” (or archosaurs, a group that, incidentally, also includes birds and crocodiles), also had feathers.
