More on fossil feathers
New Science paper for Dr Maria McNamara.
UCC School of BEES palaeontologist Dr Maria McNamara is involved in a paper published recently in the journal Science (). This paper follows on from the team鈥檚 discovery earlier this year of fossil feathers in a primitive dinosaur from Siberia (). This finding has proved controversial, with some other palaeontologists disputing whether the preserved features in the dinosaur are indeed feathers ().
McNamara鈥檚 current paper is an official response to these concerns and presents additional new data that the fossil features are feathers, confirming the team鈥檚 original interpretations of feather preservation and evolution.
