Martin on Sinornithosaurus feathers

["Thomas R. Holtz, Jr." <tholtz@geol.umd.edu>]

Greetings,

For those interested, I have come across the first reference so far from the
anti-dinosaurian origin of birds group.  In an online Science News article
(URL is:
http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2001/307/3) (you may need
an online subscription to Science to see this: I'm not certain), Martin
states:

"They certainly do not tangle like wet down feathers."

As far as I've seen, that is it from Martin and the BAND.
