Regrettably, although vaunted in the New Yorker article, these
_Dakotaraptor_ feathers (or feathers of any variety) are not mentioned
at all in the PNAS publication.  As far as I can tell, the only
mention of dinosaurian material is "a partial ceratopsian ilium with
associated impressions of tissue" in Supp Info.  So I suppose this
putative _Dakotaraptor_/feathers discovery will await a subsequent
publication...
