RE: 'Four-winged' Microraptor discovery
So freakin' cool!
Three Cheers for Luis Rey, who not only predicted this sort of thing,
but actually assigned the four-wings to genus Microraptor
http://www.luisrey.ndtilda.co.uk/html/chinesenov.htm
Let's also give some polite applause to the Future is Wild people. Four
wings no longer being quite so rediculus.
I also notice a link on the New Scientist website to HP Keesey's
Dinosauricon, and that's nice too.
On a more substantive note, so there are two species of Microraptor now?
M. zhaoianus and M. gui (I could make all manner of puns here, but I
won't). I note some feather traces on the legs of M. zhaoianus, as
well---are these, ah, legwings as well?
