Gavin,
I *think* that this quote comes from my interview with Dr. Bakker. Anyway,
these tracks were discussed recently on the list. I don't recall exactly when,
but I would search the archives. I do think that the "feathers" were actually
fronds or leaves, or some vegetation. I don't recall exactly. I think that
they were found somewhere in New England, and are in the Pratt Museum's
Hitchcock Collection. Unless these are different tracks....
