Thanks Fred!  Looks like there will be a Details on... describing a certain 
feathered deinonychosaur in the near future.  Perfectly preserved remiges, 
retrices, plumage, elongate deinonychosaur-style chevrons and 
prezygopophyses...... Can't....wait....for....paper. >>

Actually, it looks strikingly like the dinobirds I predicted in my article in 
Omni, June 1994. Compare with animals #3-5 in Luis Rey's painting for that 
piece. Also might want to compare the (geologically much, much earlier) 
Saltopus type specimen with this one. No feather impressions on Saltopus, 
however.
