Quote:
and is named "Ningcheng
Rehe Pterosaur".
Which means Jeholopterus ningchengensis. Has the
usual pterosaur "fur", in addition to the clearly different stiffening fibers in
its wings. According to the authors it can't be told at the moment whether its
"hairs" are homologous to protofeathers; they look the same, at least at that
level of preservation (and without a microscope,
and...).
