 Archie, and that progression to the full flight mode
 in Archie et al. is only a conclusion of an animal
 hitting the trees, then skies, again. Yeah, anky
 scutes can most certainly be derived from the same
 root origin as "dinofuzz" or "pterofuzz" or whatever,
 and are analogous as some form of ossified "ankyfuzz"

Yes, that's pretty much it, in a nutshell.
