Thanks. I don’t dispute the find, and do buy into the idea that modern birds may have descended from a dinosaur lineage, but I’ve become very cynical when it comes to ‘hot’ research finds from a single group. I haven’t seen the Nature paper, but the LA times article quotes one of the researchers saying: “These plumes weren’t used for flight; they were filamentary and lacked a complex structure, giving the dinosaurs who wore them more of a fuzzy appearance.” That’s pretty impressive in and of itself - that large dinosaurs would have a ‘coat’.
Under the google link is one from Natural Geographic that discusses other feathered finds in the same area.
