I don’t know why, but the idea of a 5 ft tall bird scares the hell out of me.

“Imprints of feathers in the rock around the bones...”
From an imprint of feathers they speculate the penguin was colorful? Wonder if they ever considered that the feathers were from the buzzards that ate the carcass or maybe the penguin died while dressed up for a village people lip sync contest? Sometimes you just have to wonder about archaeologists.

Article: “Stranger still, the ancient penguin’s melanosomes didn’t match modern penguins’ and instead looked like the melanosomes of other modern birds.”
So then why would they assume that it is even a penguin? There are a lot of “probably”s in this article. I don’t see any carbon dating results on how they got the figure 36 million years, either. Lots of supposition here.
I liked the quote, “ “I think there will be more to the story of this penguin’s feathering.” which I translated to mean, “We are full of crap.”

I have often wondered how many billions of frozen penguins must be buried deep within Antarctic ice. Those in the lowest part of the ice cap ought to be mighty old. New source for oil?

"It's a pretty major transition to go from aerial flight to aquatic flight, to flying in a medium that's around 800 times denser than air," Clarke said, adding: "I think there will be more to the story of this penguin's feathering."
