I guess this means that I won't have to redo my Velociraptor , Oviraptor
and Tyrannosaurus paintings because they lack feathers !
I have recently been advised ( by a nameless few ) to do so , because most
Coelosaurs PROBABLY had feathers . Well ,untill
someone finds a Velociraptor , etc. with feathers , I shall continue to
restore them with pebbly , scaly skin ,that has been found
With skin impressions . A little certainty and a lot less speculation would
go a long way.
