Fwd: feathered pterosaur???

Forwarded from Vertpaleo.  A note though, after reading the article, it appears as though the pterosaur feathers they refer to are really the hair-like structures found in pterosaurs like Sordes from Qazaqstan.  Reagrdless, it sounds like an extraordinary specimen.

One of my colleagues just came across this news story from a Chinese
newspaper about a newly discovered feathered pterosaur.  Feathered
pterosaur???!?? Aren't they supposed to be archosaurs, but not dinosaurs?
Does anyone know anything about this?
