Recently analyzed chunks of Canadian amber include filaments presumed to be protofeathers (left, top) like those seen in some Chinese fossils of dinosaurs and fragments of feathers (right, bottom) similar to those sported by modern-day birds.

I wonder if there is a long-shot for obtaining some DNA?

The evolution of “a feather” is a big subject...

If the third human to exist on this planet didn’t come from two other humans..
A HUUUUge Yarn must be spun... to explain it..

Some Science may be fiction which must be very logical else whats the point?..
Reality need not be logical at all... (nothing to prove, no agenda)..

“Similar to modern-day grebes” - well, what isn’t? Uncle Vick found a feather in his Canadian Club whiskey one night and pronounced, “Whiskey evolved from chickens! I have the proof in this glass!”

Typical how the writer waits until the last paragraph to admit that they have absolutely no evidence that this “fuzz” came from dinosaurs, or that it represents “protofeathers”. Just another “science” fairy tale.
