Re: ABSRD BAND on Sinornithosaurus feathers

["Rob Gay" <rob_redwing@hotmail.com>]

Thanks Ken for that interesting piece of information. But now:
Yikes! Has anyone here actually seen Longisquama? From my observation of the 
specimen traveling with "The Russian Dinosaurs," I'd just like to say "How 
on earth can they see the pulp cap, hollow core, etc.?!" I couldn't make out 
most of the body when I first saw it. I'm fairly skeptical of that analysis 
of the specimen. But I think, with the preservation seen in China, I would 
be much more trusting of their data and conclusions. Nice to see a response 
from the ABSRD camp though, although I think it's a little weak (but better 
than Martin's statement, that HP Holtz quoted!).
Peace,
Rob
