Re: Feathered Tyrannosaur?????

["Steve Brusatte" <dinoland@mailcity.com>]

Dan and list,
Well, it could be a joke, but it wasn't played on me.  This is obviously an AP 
news article.  I found the exact same article on the sites of two different 
print newspapers: Deseret News and the Spokane, Washington newspaper (whatever 
their name is).  

Plus, yeah, Bakker is quoted too.

I have never heard of any types of feather impressions from Montana, either.
