I get tired of hearing this excuse for artists to maintain the

evidence for _Ichthyornis_ having feathers, or _Patagopteryx_ or
_Gargantuavis_ or _Rahonavis_, but no artist would dream of seriously
restoring any of them as scaly.

However, is there not evidence for a scaly (or at least unfeathered) integument in Carnotaurus?
