That depends whether you believe in the view of modern science, which says it was millions of years ago..... or alternative history, in which case it could be only about 20,000 years ago.

If you read the works of Edgar Cayce on the Origins of man he talks of times when Atlantis was still a great continent, and people from many places on Earth got together to discuss the problem of giant creatures which were a great danger to man, and how to get rid of them.

I can only assume they meant carnivorous dinosaurs, and since Atlantis finally disappeared beneath the ocean about twelve thousand years ago, they may have been around much later than modern science tells us.

With a bit of help, it could have taken down animals as big as Stegosaurus! It lived during the Jurassic period, and had a horn upon its nose, probably for displaying itself. It had four claws on each hand. Its name means "horned lizard". It belongs to the group Ceratosauridae and walked on two legs. Small bony plates ran along the ridge on the middle of the back.

Which features of a dinosaur fossil indicate that it have feathers?

Usually, you can only tell conclusively that a dinosaur had feathers if there are feather imprints with the dinosaur fossil. One exception is that fused bones at the end of the tail may suggest that the tail was meant to support long feathers, in which case the bones can suggest that there were feathers. Another example is if the bones of the forearm have attachment points for a bunch of ligaments other than the ligaments at the joints, the ligaments probably provided attachment points for feathers.
