Hi dino-list members,
I'm not a specialist, so I'm trying to see which
theropods can have been feathered or not.
I think my essay could be useful for some
members.
So I'd ask you to correct me if I'm
wrong.
== Feathered:
--- Maniraptorians, ornithomimmosaurs,
troodontids,
--- Segnosaurs,
--- Sinosauropteryx,
--- Compsognathus,
--- Scipionyx,
--- Coelurus (?)
--- Allosaurus chicks (?)
--- T-rex chicks
(?)... (did I forget
something?)
Most of them seem to have worn only
protofeathers.
But we got real feathers like birds' ones
on:
--- Archaeopteryx,
--- Rahonavis,
--- Caudipteryx,
--- Confuciusornis (this one is still a bird) and
species near it,
(did I forget something?)
And what about the accurence of real feathers on
adult
--- Microraptor,
--- Deinonychus,
--- Dromaeosaurus,
--- Troodon,
--- Therizinosaurus,... ?
== Scaly:
--- all Late Triassic dinosaurs,
--- Syntarsus, Dilophosaurus,
--- all large
theropods. (did I forget
something?)
Many thanks in advance for your help,
