RE: Feathers for T-rex? Anyone got an answer?

Yes, I totally agree with you. IF you find something THAT interesting, you
are not posting it on a dutch website ;) . However, I'm gonna try to
contact the person who posted it and try to find out where that came from.
More soon!
Cheers, Hanneke



Has anyone got an answer?

I would tyhink that if anyone found feathers on T-rex it wouldn't take this
a year to get published - but I'm interested!

I actually thought I had more than one post on this in my mailbox - but
only this one there now.

One could always contact this Dave Sereno in Chicago.  What institution is
it?
