Avian dinosaur, but yeah we should totally just call it a dino wing for short.

Well, no.
Modern birbs became a proper distinct group around that time (no teeth, modern wing structure, etc).
They cohabited with proper dinosaurs & flew around along with "pterosauromorpha" (flying lizardos). (At the time they didn't have any flying mammals tho.)
And the distinctions come from bone structures & the few feathers that we discovered - so if someone with knowledge would say that feather came from a bird (with features found in modern birds today) and not a dinosaur, I would be inclined to believe them.
And still it doesn't really, considering the exponential scale used for writing down numbers.
The only way that would really give a proper sense of scale is the good old tally list. But with that it would harldy be possible to count up to 100 million.
And this is the mid-Cretaceous -- as feathered dinosaurs go, Anchiornis was around 60,000,000 years before that, and Kulindadromeus perhaps even earlier.
5 second rule has long since passed, yes.
Or how broad a time scale we're talking about. On a stellar evolution time scale, it's roughly 5 seconds.
We need to get a c/ForbiddenSnacks already
Only the pic?
That reminds me I should call her
Clone it!
So what are you waiting for? Extract the DNA, and get to cloning. We have a Dinobird Air Force to build!
Coooooooooooooooooooool
Poor bird ☹️
Maybe it came from a pillow ...

go to feed...
So, a dinosaur?
